Off of the Couch and onto the Obstacle Course: The Great Amazing Race Returns to the Gulf Coast



Watch out, folks, the The Amazing Race is coming to town soon... but you certainly won't be vegging out on the couch for this one! Based on the show you've seen on TV, the Great Amazing Race is an annual, family-friendly obstacle course/adventure race activity for adults and kids. Join us for the fun this year in Mobile on Sunday, February 23, 2014 at Langan Municipal Park.

Challenge your friends, neighbors, and coworkers to compete. It’s a fun way to get the whole family excited about exercise. Teams of two people (adult/kid, kid/kid, or adult/adult ) will race against other teams to complete a one-mile, cross-country course that includes eight fun-filled obstacles and challenges that require teamwork. Some of the challenges can be messy, so be prepared to get a little dirty and wet!

Our wellness team is getting excited about this year’s theme: Where Smiles & Teamwork Rule the Day. Kids as young as five years old can compete, but those in Pre-K or kindergarten must be paired with an adult. All challenges are suited to the age level of the competitors and both recreation and competitive levels are available. Find a partner and register your team today!

The registration fee is $40 per pair. Discounts are available for scout troops, military, law enforcement, and other community organizations. Winning teams could qualify to compete for a $2,000 prize in the Championship Race. Visit www.GreatAmazingRace.com for details.

The challenge is a great way to make exercise a family affair! It helps you work toward your fitness goals and helps your children develop healthy attitudes about exercise which will enrich their lives forever.
