THE MOST AMAZING RACE

Join The Salvation Army for The MOST Amazing Race
and your chance to win $5,000

“The 2011 MOST Amazing Race” is presented by Luther Auto and is an official event of the Minneapolis Aquatennial. It will take place on
July 23, 2011 leading the teams of two on a large-scale race around Minneapolis and St. Paul.  This sixth annual fundraising event benefits The Salvation Army's Bed and Bread Club®, which helps alleviate hunger and homelessness in the Twin Cities. Over $214,000 has been raised since the event started in 2006!

The race is patterned after the CBS reality show “The Amazing Race” and features teams of two completing mental and physical challenges at
popular locations throughout Minneapolis and St. Paul. Teams have the potential to qualify for the race in one of two ways: raising at least $2,000, or by being a top finisher at a qualifying event held the morning of the race. There is a $20 registration fee per team. However, to be eligible to compete in the qualifying race, teams must raise a minimum of $200 by July 20.

From the starting line, the final teams will be given a clue leading them to a checkpoint somewhere in Minneapolis or St. Paul. They can only use Metro Transit for transportation throughout the race. Upon arriving at the various checkpoints throughout the day, they will be required to complete a task in order to receive the next clue. Tasks would be either physically or mentally challenging, and could involve tedious activities, trivial contests, or food challenges.

The first team to reach the finish line will win the grand prize of $5,000.
