Get ready to enjoy the most exciting adventure race on the planet. Modeled after the popular TV show “THE AMAZING RACE”, teams of two people race in competition with other similar age teams. Contestants are directed to complete a XC course with multiple pit stops. Clue cards provided at each station directs them to perform a task, together. “Teamwork” is key, as each challenge requires the involvement/cooperation of both racers to complete.

Walk, jog or run – and be prepared to get a little dirty & wet.  It’s a great bonding experience and way more fun than a 5K race!
