How the Amazing Race works
Teams of four to eight are handed a clue sheet and a start line, then fan out across the city to find checkpoints, crack clues and complete challenges before the clock runs out. Our hosts staff the checkpoints, so nobody gets lost and every team keeps moving.
The route is built around your start and finish. Race through the CBD and out to the foreshore, or keep the whole thing inside one precinct, park or resort. Challenges are designed so the fastest walkers do not automatically win: observation, puzzles and photo tasks keep the scores close.
A live leaderboard runs through the event, and the final results land in a presentation at the finish. It is our most popular format for a reason: everyone plays, everyone has a job, and the stories write themselves.
Most races run for two to three hours including briefing, the race itself and the results presentation. That makes them easy to drop into a conference afternoon or a team day: start after morning sessions, finish with a drink, and nobody has to find a second venue. Half-day and full-day versions add extra checkpoints, a lunch stop and a longer finale.
Routes are planned around what is actually walkable. We check the distance, the stairs, the traffic lights and the spots where a group of forty will block a footpath, and we can build a route that never leaves a single precinct for groups with limited mobility or tight timing. Nothing is left to a generic map, which is why the checkpoints hold up on the day.
Pricing depends on headcount, city, route length and how many hosts the course needs, and it is quoted per group rather than per person. Tell us the date, numbers and city and the quote comes back with the route and timings attached, so you can see exactly what you are buying.

How it runs on the day
It starts with a discovery call. We talk through your team, then plan where the race begins and ends — your office, a park, a restaurant, even a secret pub. Everyone gets the where, when and what to bring before the day.
On the day our hosts are set up early in our bright yellow shirts. After a short briefing we split you into teams and hand out wristbands and race packs, then it is 3, 2, 1 and off to the first Route Info envelope. Expect around 3km of walking with checkpoints and challenges along the way, then a results announcement where we crown both the winners and the slowest team of the day.
Available Australia wide, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, the Gold Coast and regional locations.
Bringing a whole company, a conference or a school? Corporate team building covers larger groups and full-day programs, conference programs run across multi-day agendas, and school events cover colour runs, challenge days and fundraisers.
Questions about the Amazing Race
The things teams ask us before booking. Anything else, call 1300 044 197 or send an enquiry.
Plan on 1.5 – 3 hours. We build the running order around your program, so the Amazing Race can slot into a conference session, hold its own half day or stretch into a longer format.
Our standard range is 4 – 2000+ participants, and we can stretch beyond that with extra hosts and waves. Everyone is placed in a team, so nobody is left watching.
You will be on your feet and moving for most of the event, with plenty of walking. Comfortable shoes are the only real requirement, and we adapt challenges for anyone who needs a slower pace.
We build the route or course around your start and finish, whether that is your office, a park, a beach or a hired venue. Anywhere with a bit of space and a few landmarks works.
We watch the forecast in the week before your event and call you if it looks marginal. You can go ahead anyway, postpone without penalty with at least 24 hours notice, or pivot to an indoor version of the same event.
Send an enquiry with your date, headcount and location. We reply with a clear quote and a plan for the day, usually within one business day. Accepting the quote and paying a 30% deposit locks in your date.
