I have been so busy lately I COMPLETELY forgot to post on this event. The MOST AMAZING RACE of Downtown Raleigh took place on August 24th, 2013 and was hosted by the Salvation Army of Wake County. This was a GREAT, action-packed event with lots of COOL and INTERESTING challenges. Proceeds from the event benefitted the Salvation Army of Wake County which provides after-school care, athletic programs, and summer camps for at-risk children.
The race is modeled after the TV show "The Most Amazing Race." There were scavenger like hunts that consisted of 21 teams of "two.” Each team had to raise $250 EACH. Challengers were "subjected" to 12 pretty FIERCE challenges and included participants choosing "unspeakable" TOPPINGS at Mellow Mushroom and a super FIERCE challenge at Triangle Cross Fit of Downtown Raleigh. I had the privilege of working the Cross FIT station Challenge, which came directly after the challengers Mellow Mushroom, stomach-churning event.
The Cross Fit Challenge involved:
- 5 Burpees - 2x's
-5 Wall Ball's - 2x's
-5 Monster tire jump/turnovers - 2x’s
SERIOUSLY, there were some pretty FIERCE people out there – not sure how they did it! As an avid runner, I still can't get my head around the Cross Fit Challenge or any of the other events! That's me in the jeans and hat by the way. Not exactly prepared for a Saturday am photo op!
I hope to get a team of ladies out there in 2014 to support this fantastic cause!
