Chicken Run is a Guild Race where members transform into a chicken and must pass through the Flameroot Caverns and Highden Caves while dealing with traps, harpies, breeze riders, drakes, and separatists. This race deals mainly with stealthing and running fast (which feels faster due to your small size) while dodging enemies and avoiding the numerous traps. Escorts can be very useful to clear out the enemies, but racers will have to deal with the traps on their own.
Getting there[edit]
From Fangfury Watch Waypoint go South (see map) then turn East into Flameroot Caverns. The Guild Race Icon does not appear on the map unless the Guild Race has been activated. Alternatively, from Wreckage of Bloodgorge Watch Waypoint go East. Or from Deathblade's Watch Waypoint go West, North then East.

Strategies[edit]
- Primary article: Guild Race#Strategies
- Take your time when you're not in danger. Despite the name, racing quickly along the course is a sure way to stumble upon multiple traps and die quickly, forcing you to start over.
- Use the Search skill (#1) continuously, press Ctrl + Right Click to turn it into an autoattack. Traps are your main enemy along the course, and hitting two traps in a row will quickly cause you to go back to the beginning. Waiting a couple seconds for it to come off cooldown, in a safe location, is usually preferable to blindly wandering into a spike trap.
- Escorts can easily keep the paths clear of mobs for racers, making them very useful for this race.
- In addition to the speed boost and heal, the Run skill also makes you invulnerable for a few seconds.
- There are often more dangers from traps than enemies in this race. Falling rock traps in particular are very numerous on this race.
- Traps are often placed back-to-back in choke points, forcing you to always run through multiple of them. Spam Search and take advantage of the Run skill's invulnerability to make it through.
