Great Amazing Race

  • Great Brooks Farm Park (map)

SIGN UP NOW ... An Exciting Adventure Run/Walk for Adult & Kids ~ Donate Sneakers for Cancer!
Supporting Pediatric Cancer and 30 Minutes-a-Day Academic Initiative

It's all about TEAMWORK! Since 2012, this fun race features teams of two people racing in competition with other similar age teams. Contestants are directed to perform a variety of mental & physical challenges (together) at multiple stops along the 1.5 mile course. How well you work together is the most important skill to winning the race.


Walk, jog or run - yet be prepared to get a little dirty & wet. It's a great bonding experience and way more fun than a 5K race! Waves begin every 10 minutes - kids teams, then adult teams.
