07/26 Geneva Lakes Amazing Race

Funderaiser patterned after the TV-show “Amazing Race” - a combination of a race and an “extreme” scavenger hunt in which teams of two travel in a race around the world solving mental and physical “challenges” as they go. In our version teams will travel to an undisclosed number of venues scattered throughout the area and be faced with tasks or puzzles at each which they will need to solve to move on to the next venue. To make things more challenging teams may have to solve a riddle or puzzle to learn the location of the next venue. This will be the third running of the event which was formerly known as the IM Challenge. The event is being sponsored jointly by and for the benefit of Inspiration Ministries and the Tubular Sclerosis (TS) Alliance.
