What is the Amazing Pace?

This Urban Race event in six Ontario cities challenges participants to get active while racing across the city!

The Amazing Pace is a contest of skill, consisting of a series of Checkpoint Challenges (“Checkpoints”) which teams must successfully complete. The first team to have all teammates cross the identified official finish line will be declared the winner, subject to completion of the required challenges within the specified time limit, compliance with these Official Rules/Regulations, and verification by The Amazing Pace Officials

Thank you to everyone who Paced with us on Oct 29, 2011!

TEAMS OF 2 or 4 will scour the city as part of an EPIC, 1 DAY RACE

Teams will run, walk and use public transit, racing to complete their Checkpoint Challenges

Teams will decipher clues to help them complete a predetermined number of CHECKPOINT CHALLENGES at UNKNOWN LOCATIONS throughout the city

Teams can use a nearly limitless array of resources (friends, family, internet ...) to help them get to their next Checkpoint Challenge but can not use them to complete the challenge.

Checkpoint Challenges consist of tasks that will TEST TEAMS' LIMITS both MENTALLY and PHYSICALLY while also being FUN and ENTERTAINING

The first team in the least amount of time to complete the required number of Checkpoint Challenges and cross the finish line wins

THE PACE is about more than crossing the finish line - it is about the JOURNEY and the chance to SAVE lives and CHANGE your own!
