Event Details

Touring all NFL cities. The GREAT AMAZING RACE provides kids with an opportunity to pair up with a parent, grandparent, sibling or mentor and experience the thrill of running in a fun and exciting environment! It’s way more fun than a 5K!  


   From start to finish, the race is the most invigorating activity for families to do together, ever! Whether you run, jog or walk, it'll be an experience you will never forget! The top 25 teams, from every city race, qualify for the National Championship Race and a chance to win $2,000!

  

   “Thank you for your time and what an awesome day my son and I had. My son could not stop talking about it and thanking me for taking him! I truly appreciate the work you and your team are doing, it has made memories that will last a lifetime.” Race parent.


COURSE INFOPatterned after the popular television show “THE AMAZING RACE”, teams of two race against other teams around a one (1) mile cross country course that includes up to eight (8) fun-filled challenges. The clue cards instruct the contestants to complete a task (game, relay obstacle course, etc.) before proceeding to the next challenge. The team that completes the challenges and reaches the finish line with the fastest overall time is declared the winner. Contestants should be prepared to get a little dirty and wet – it’s part of the fun!  This is a rain or shine event.

   > Teams can choose a recreation level (those who prefer to walk or jog at a leisure pace) or or a competitive level (those who prefer to run and complete more challenging tasks).

   >  Fast Forward tokens (aka. Time Savers) can be purchased at any time prior to start of the race.  Teams will receive a 1 minute deduction for every additional $5.00 submitted (up to 4 minutes).

   > Spectators are allowed to tag along for free and take photos for the scrapbook.


WHO: For kids in grades kindergarten thru 12th grade and adults. Teams consist of two persons: adult/kid, kid/kid or adult/adult. Pre-K is allowed if paired with an adult.


WAVE TIMES: 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm

(You will be placed in the wave that you show up for. Packets available for pickup 45 mins prior to each wave.)

 

AWARDS: All contestants receive an official time card to recognize their accomplishment. Special awards are given to the winners of each division (determined by grade of youngest team member): Grades K-6 Division and Grades &th & Older Division.


VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: As a volunteer, you will receive a t-shirt, community service hours and your family members can race for free.  Must be 15 or older. Volunteer Sign Up.


   The GREAT AMAZING RACE series supports the 30-MINUTES-A-DAY academic initiative, a national program that promotes daily family engagement in three home activities (physical exercise, reading a book and healthy eating) that have the power to improve student’s academic performance and family quality of life. We recognize that it is hard to have success at school without a solid foundation at home!
