HOW THE AMAZING RACE SKILLS CONTEST WORKS
It's all about fun, wellness and testing your 2 persons teamwork skills against other similar age teams. Since 2011, racers ages 5 to 85 have been pairing up with family members, friends and co-workers to support the fight against pediatric cancer. 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 1.5 mile XC course speckled with fun-filled physical & mental challenge stations every 300 or so yards. Clue cards at each station describe a task that requires the cooperation of both racers to complete (aka ~TEAMWORK), before advancing to the next station. The top finishers in each age group are declared the winners
