Longmont Downtown Development Authority is looking for teams wanting to compete in the upcoming Amazing Race!
Longmont United Hospital's second annual Amazing Race will feature teams of two following clues to various Downtown businesses and locations. Each stop will feature a five to ten-minute challenge, which the teams will have to complete before receiving a new clue to find the next location. The race will begin at 2 PM on Saturday, August 26, 2017, and will feature roughly 15 different challenges along the way. The first team to complete all the challenges and make it to the finish line will win.
All teams will receive t-shirts and compete for a $250 grand prize, valid at Downtown Longmont businesses. The entry fee is $30 total for each two-person team, advanced registration is required (a link to sign up is provided below).
For those who would like a more relaxed and self-paced way to explore Downtown, there will be a Downtown Scavenger Hunt open to anyone during the Block Party. Various historical and noteworthy signs, features and details will be highlighted throughout the district for people to find. Individuals who complete the scavenger hunt will be entered into a giveaway drawing for prizes.
