Muskoka's First Annual Amazing Race, brought to you by the Muskoka
Trails Council, will be held on Sat., Aug. 14.
This
endurance challenge is modelled after the hit television series,
and will take racers across Muskoka by following clues and
completing challenging and fun tasks. 50 teams of two will take on
this challenge to become winners of the second race. This year
there will be two divisions for racers - competitive and
recreational. Come join us for an exciting and fun day for all!
Last
year, the race included physical challenges such as hand-paddling
a canoe in Huntsville and rock climbing at the Bracebridge
Sportsplex. Fun tasks included singing or putting on a skit at the
farmers market in Bracebridge, assembling an Inukshuk in
Gravenhurst and eating an entire raw vegetable without using your
hands.
In
2009, the race focused on the three towns: Bracebridge,
Gravenhurst and Huntsville. This year the plan is to focus on the
townships, which could include Muskoka Lakes, Lake of Bays and
possibly Georgian Bay.

recreation in Muskoka, and also raises awareness and funds for the
Muskoka Trails Council, a non-profit organization focused on
increasing physical activity and the health of our environment in
partnership with each Muskoka municipality.
