​

How many challenges will be a part of the race?
There will be 13-15 challenges consisting of Obstacles and Detours

​

• OBSTACLE - A task in which a certain number or all team members must participate in and complete in order to move onto the next leg of the race The team member(s) must perform the task successfully to complete the challenge.  If the team cannot finish the task, they will be eliminated.
   

• DETOUR - A choice between two challenges. On the surface, one may seem easy but involves some sort of twist; the other may seem difficult but in the end may be the quicker choice. If a team starts one task and finds it too difficult, they may elect to do the other task.   If the team cannot finish either task, they will be eliminated.

 

What happens if it rains on race day?

You get wet! The race will take place rain or shine. In the event of severe weather, we'll do all we can to make the experience as safe as possible. But if there is severe weather, the race may be delayed as race officials consult public safety officers. If there is more than a reasonable delay, or if conditions persist, race officials reserve the right to shorten or cancel the race.

Entry fees are non-refundable.

 

How will we know where the challenge locations will be?

Well, of course, we will be keeping the locations of the challenges and pit stops top secret until the race actually begins!

 

At each stop, you will be given an envelope with your next clue that will lead you to the next challenge.  Sometimes the clues will require you and your team members to put on your thinking caps to figure out the destination, sometimes we’ll give you the exact locations.  This is what makes our Amazing Race fun!
