What is Chase to Catch?

A road-race format built for strategy, tension, and speed.

It’s not just a race — it’s a live pursuit. The escapee has information. The chasers have numbers. The route is iconic, the time window is brutal, and every update reshapes the hunt.

The runner

One escaping car

Starts first, sees every chasing team on GPS, and controls the clue flow.
