RACE INFO
It’s all about fun, wellness and testing your teamwork skills against other similar age teams. Since 2011, racers 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 cross country course speckled with a variety of fun-filled athletic & problem solving stations every 300 or so yards. Clue cards at each station describe a task that requires the cooperation of both racers (aka TEAMWORK) in order to complete, before advancing to the next station. The first teams to arrive at the end are declared the winners
