The Amazing Race - The ultimate hiking challenge

Starts June 4

Hi Teams,

We are excited to announce that we have over 120 teams and 370+ individuals participating in the 2012 Amazing Race hiking challenge.  This year’s race should turn out to be a great one!  The race theme for this year is treasure hunting, buccaneering for hidden booty.  So here is your first opportunity to find the first hidden booty or box.

Hike # 1 Little Mountain Park Trail – La-Z-Boy and Huff-N-Puff Trails:  This first hike is a nice, short hike in the Little Mountain Park trail system area in Mount Vernon. Your team should have received an email by now that gives you specific trail details. If you have registered, and your team has not received the details of the first hike via email please contact us.

Please note:  When you find the hidden box please remember to place the box exactly how you found it. Look for your clue with your team name labeled on a zip lock baggy (clues are or were organized in alphabetical order according to your tame name).  Use the hiking log inside the box to write down your team name and experience with the hike.  Don’t forget to email us your team photo with your team name along side the hidden box.
