“The 2008 MOST Amazing Race” is an official event of the Minneapolis Aquatennial and will take place on July 26, 2008 leading the teams of two on a large-scale race around Minneapolis.  This third annual fundraising event benefits The Salvation Army's Bed and Bread Club®, which helps alleviate hunger and homelessness in the Twin Cities. Over $86,000 has been raised since the event started in 2006!

Patterned after the TV show “The Amazing Race” this scavenger-hunt-like-race includes a qualifying event at the University of Minnesota, the morning of the actual race day.   The qualifying event narrows the field down to 20 teams of two people, who compete in “The MOST Amazing Race” that afternoon. Up to five teams can automatically qualify for the final race by raising over $1500.  

From the starting line, the final teams will be given a clue leading them to a checkpoint somewhere in Minneapolis. 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 courtesy of Wells Fargo.  The top fundraising team will receive 2 round trip tickets on Northwest Airlines within the 48 contiguous United States, Alaska, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean and Costa Rica.
