Below is some information so you can set aside the day, organise a team and set aside some cash if you are on a budget. Those short on cash might like to try and win entry into the race – see events/Contest NOTE that contest entries close on the 7th May.
This particular Amazing Race has a challenge that requires a small entry fee of $10/person. This challenge is likely something most of you have never done before. It is physical but your average joe should have no troubles. It will add some extra thrill that can not be achieved without the cost. I hope this does not put you off, It is very exciting and I only wish I was able to take part.

******************************
GENERAL INFO:
Similar to the TV show The Amazing Race, the amazing race themed cruise is a competition, NOT A ROAD RACE!!! Road rules are to be obeyed. Teams will be timed.
There is no set course, only set destinations/checkpoints for challenges and clues. You must find your own way to each destination/checkpoint.
There will be tasks that will need to be completed in order for you to receive your next clue.
The event is likely to take the majority of the day.
Teams must fill out the nomination form and sign the disclaimer and post/email to the details supplied on the form by the closing date so that the event can be organised around definite numbers. We may accept late entries – these will incur a late fee. However if we can not accommodate your entry or supply equipment for your entry it will be refused. Best to be safe and get your entry in on time.
This event is about having FUN, the prizes are just a bonus!
ANY MALICIOUS OR FOUL PLAY WILL NOT BE TOLLERATED. Any team found to sabotage challenges to hinder other teams will be eliminated. This can be dangerous and we can not afford people to get lost or injured.
Mystery Time - Organisers will run the entire course and challenges to obtain an average completion time, this time will be used as the Mystery time. Teams closest to this time are the winners.
More info will be posted if and when I think of it, Im sure I have probably forgotten to write something.
Mark your calendars and start organising a team!
