RACE DETAILS
Modeled after the popular television show "THE AMAZING RACE", this rain or shine event pits teams of two against other teams in a series of up to 8 (eight) fun-filled challenges across a one-mile cross-country course. Clue cards instruct the teams to complete a task (game, relay, obstacle course, etc.) before proceeding to the next challenge station. How well you work as a team is the most essential ingredient to winning the race. The team that reaches the finish line with the fastest overall time wins. Contestants should be prepared to get a little dirty and wet - it's part of the fun!
> Recreation level (those who prefer to walk or jog at a leisure pace) or Competitive level (for older and more physically active participants).
> Fast Forward tokens (aka Time Savers) can be purchased at any time prior to start of the race.
> Spectators are welcome to tag along for free and take photos for the scrapbook.
AWARDS
Special awards are given to the winners of each grade division (determined by grade of youngest team member): Grades 1-6 Division and Grades 7-12 Division.
