HOW THE AMAZING RACE 3K CONTEST WORKS
  This skills competition is all about FUN, WELLNESS and TEAMWORK. Since 2011, racers ages 5 to 85 have been pairing up with family members, friends and co-workers testing their 2 persons teamwork skills against other similar age teams. Walk, jog or run ~ this race is way more fun than a 5k race!  
  Modeled after the popular TV show, 2 person teams complete a XC course with a string of physical & mental challenge stations every 300 yards. Clue cards at each station describe a task (sports, games, relays, obstacles, etc.) that require problem solving & the cooperation of both racers in order to complete (aka ~Teamwork), before advancing to the next station. The top finishers in each age group are declared the winners.   
 
1. Ages: Open for ages 5 to 85 ... walkers, joggers and runners.
2. Teams: Teams consist of 2 persons ... adult/adult, adult/kid or kid/kid.
3. Courses: Recreation for leisure pace teams / Competitive for physically active teams.
4. Race Divisions: Based on the age/grade of the younger team member.
                                  (Grades K-3 / Grades 4-8 / Grades 9- Age 39 / Ages 40 & older.)
5. Waves: Waves begin every 10 minutes – kids’ teams, then adult teams.
6. Time: 60 minutes is the average time to complete the course. 

 MISC.
1. Sneaker Donations: Donate 2 used pairs of sneakers for pediatric cancer & receive 2 minutes off your final time.
2. Volunteers: Sign up to volunteer and race for FREE!
3. Spectators: Spectators are welcome to attend for FREE!
