The Amazing New York Race

Are you a fan of TV's The Amazing Race? Have you ever wondered if you had the stuff to cross the finish line first and win the million dollars? Well, now you can run The Amazing Race without leaving New York City.

The Amazing New York Race is a fun activity for singles, couples, or groups. It's part scavenger hunt, part obstacle course and requires you to run all over New York City tracking down clues and taking photos. You'll be faced with roadblocks, detours, and obscure challenges -- just like on TV. You can even win prizes by racking up the most points.

I recently ran The Amazing New York Race (and lost out on the big prize primarily because we weren't able to collect enough matchbooks in this nonsmoking city). I recommend it for any adventurous New Yorker looking for something different to do on a date, with friends, or even on your own (you'll be assigned to a team and meet new people).

Tickets are $35.00 per person and you can sign up for the classic race or theme races including singles, family, dog friendly, and holiday races.

Now come along and see some of the sights that we encountered on The Amazing New York Race.
