OVERVIEW 
THE GREAT AMAZING RACE is a national skills competition, in which teams of two people race through an obstacle course in competition with their peers. Modeled after the TV show, teams (comprised of adult/adult, adult/kid or kid/kid) complete a one-mile course speckled with up to eight fun-filled outdoor challenges. Clue cards provided at each station directs teams to complete a task or obstacle, either together or by single member, before advancing to the next challenge station. Teams strive to arrive at the finish line with the fastest overall time to be declared the winners. It's way more fun than a 5K! 
How well you work together with your partner (communicate & collaborate) is the most essential skill to winning the race. Waves begin every 10 minutes … kids teams, then adult teams. The top 25 teams from each local race qualify for regional championship race and chance to win $1,500! Reserve your spot now as registration will close once 120 team limit is reached.
