Race for the Ring 2

Release from Wick and Greene Jewelers. Sounds fun. A couple from Weaverville won the inaugural race last year.

There is a $15,000 Lazare Diamond Ring somewhere in the streets of downtown Asheville. No, it’s not missing, it hasn’t been stolen and no one left it there by accident. Wick and Greene Jewelers has purposefully placed it there and is hoping for some lucky couple to find (and keep) it. Wick and Greene Jewelers is turning downtown Asheville into a city-wide game-board and has built a high tech treasure hunt for couples to try and seek out the diamond! So, this event is none other than 2nd Annual North Carolina Race for the Ring!

To participate in the game, couples have to submit their love stories to Wick and Greene Jewelers at www.NCraceforthering.com. Wick and Greene Jewelers will select the pairs with the most compelling stories and offer them a spot to participate in the city-wide game on Sunday, Sept. 26.

This game is not your average treasure hunt; this is a game of skills, and it’s a fully interactive high tech game where all of the clues and challenges are delivered to couples’ mobile phones via text message. At 1 pm on Sept. 26, 350 couples will meet at Wick and Greene Jewelers in downtown Asheville to take part in 2nd Annual North Carolina Race for the Ring.

Once the game kicks off, the teams will be sent sprinting around downtown Asheville, solving clues and riddles delivered to participant’s cell phones via text message. The game will culminate when one lucky couple finds the secret location of the Lazare Diamond Ring worth $15,000. In addition to this beautiful ring, Wick and Greene Jewelers has also put together a lavish after party for all of the participants at Century Room on the Park.
