The Amazing Hunt

The Amazing Hunt is an urban explorer race that takes place in British Columbia based on the show the Amazing Race.

Since 2004 it's been a great way to compete, run around town like crazy visiting unique landmarks and getting to know your city's culture. It features many of the same challenges as the show such as Detours, Road Blocks and Yields.

The race operates all over the Lower Mainland (North Shore, Surrey, Richmond, Burnaby, Vancouver) and even over on the Island in Victoria. You can sign up for the race in your area and test your skills. The challenges in various cities run from March to October.

The creator writes:
The theme for the 2007 races is to "expect the unexpected," like our host always said at the starting line.
So, if you have any ideas for the tasks or locations for teams to visit, please let me know by e-mail or reply this blog. If your idea gets accepted, you will get an official The Amazing Hunt t-shirt! [Amazing Hunt Blog]

Footage from past Amazing Hunt races can be viewed on You Tube and visit the site for more details on participating or being a volunteer.
