Qualifying Race this Saturday

Is everyone ready to race this Saturday? We've planned some fun and exciting challenges! The 42 teams who registered for The MOST Amazing Race will be competing to be one of the final teams. Those teams who don't qualify on Saturday still have the opportunity to be one of the 20 race teams...they just need to earn their way by fundraising.

Speaking of fundraising...teams have raised more than $16,000 so far! Did you know that the $200 that each team is raising will provide a week of shelter and 20 meals for a person? Cool, huh? As of yesterday, Team Tower took over as the first place fundraising team, raising more than $1,100!

For each team who qualifies for the final race, we're working on creating a web page with their photo and bio information. Should be cool. Finally, here's some neat facts about our teams.
  • The average age of the racers is 33. The oldest is 52. Youngest is 19.
  • 10 are husband-wife teams
  • 7 are sister (or sister-in-law) teams
  • 16 teams are just friends
  • 4 are co-worker teams
  • 3 are teams who are dating
  • 1 team is engaged
  • 1 is a nephew/uncle team

See you on Saturday!
