Official website: www.GreatAmazingRace.com

  Modeled after the TV show, THE GREAT AMAZiNG RACE (GAR) features teams of two racing against other teams around a cross country course speckled with fun-filled challenge stations. How well you work together (communicate & collaborate) with your teammate is the most essential skill to completing the course. Be prepared to get a little dirty & wet, this race is way more fun than a 5K race! 

   Open to everyone - walkers, joggers & runners - pee wees to grandparents.  Waves begin every 10 minutes - kids teams, then adult teams.

   Racers receive a free GAR Backpack ($15 value) by sharing with 8+ people on Facebook, Google+ or Email! ... (Example:  "Hey, I am doing the Great Amazing Race. Join me and get a FREE GAR Backpack.")
