Amazing Race
Our signature city-wide team race
View eventActive events
Some teams do not want to sit down. These are the events for groups who would rather run, race, climb, carry and sweat together, with the kind of shared effort that is still being talked about a month later.
Active does not have to mean athletic. Every one of these formats has a lower impact option, and we place people in teams rather than letting the fastest few dominate. Tell us about fitness levels in your enquiry and we will match the intensity to your group.
In practice that means a mix of movement and thinking rather than a straight physical contest. A race leg might be a walk to a checkpoint followed by a puzzle, a photo task or a negotiation with a host, so the group that jogs everywhere rarely wins. Teams are deliberately mixed so the strongest and the least mobile end up on the same side, which is usually the point people remember.
Where you run it matters as much as which event you choose. City races need footpaths, public transport and a start point within walking distance of a station; park and beach formats need open space, shade and a nearby base for bags and water. Indoor venues can host the active formats too, which is worth knowing for summer in Brisbane, Darwin and Cairns, or for any date where the forecast is a risk.
Most active events run for two to four hours including briefing, the activity and results, with half-day and full-day versions available. Around 15 to 80 people in one session is the sweet spot; above that we run waves with extra hosts so every team gets a proper brief and a fair course. Tell us the date, numbers and city and we will send a run sheet with the route attached.
Every event is hosted by our own team and can be adapted to your venue, your group size and your agenda.
