RACE INFO  

  It's about FUN, WELLNESS and TEAMWORK!  This is your chance to test your "AMAZING RACE" skills while supporting pediatric cancer. Since 2011, contestants have been pairing up with friends, family members and co-workers ~ competing against other similar age teams.  This race caters to all ages and fitness levels.

 Modeled after the TV show, 2 person teams race around a 1.5 mile cross country course speckled with a series of show inspired ATHLETIC & PROBLEM-SOLVING TASKS. Clue cards provided at each station describe a task that must be completed in order to continue to race. The first to arrive at the end wins. 

  How well you work together with your partner (aka Teamwork) is the #1 most important skill to winning the race. This race is way more fun than a 5k race!
