RACE DETAILS
Modeled after the popular television show "THE AMAZING RACE", two person teams race against other teams in a string of up to eight fun-filled challenges spread across a one-mile cross-country course. Each station will contain a SECRET CLUE CARD that instructs each team to complete a task (game, relay, obstacle course, etc.) before proceeding to the next challenge station. The team that reaches the finish line with the fastest overall time wins. How well you work as a team is the most essential ingredient to winning the race.
1. Racers should be prepared to get a little dirty and wet - it's part of the fun! To ensure fairness and safety of all involved, some of the tasks are slightly modified for youth and senior participants.
2. Racers can choose a RECREATION PACE (for those who prefer to walk or jog) or COMPETITIVE PACE (for those who prefer to run).
3. Time Outs can be purchase online or on race day. You will receive a 2 minute time deduction off your overall time. It's sort of like a mulligan in golf. (1 per team allowed)
4. Unsure of a teammate? No worries, team members can be added or substituted on race day.
5. Plan on 60 minutes to complete the course. Reminder, this is a rain or shine event!
6. There's no reason to leave family and friends at home. Spectators are welcome to tag along for free to cheer on racers and take photos for the scrapbook.
