The Amazing Race Ashburton

Get a team of 5 people together and get ready to take on the Amazing Race Ashburton! Suitable for families, groups of friends or workplace teams. The inaugural event in 2023 was very popular - see this video to get a feel for how it went.

Teams will head to the Sinclair Community Centre on Park street from 12pm on Saturday April 13th 2024. We'll have some hot soup for you (v, gf, df), judge your team's outfits and give you the race briefing before you'll get your first clue and head off around 1pm.

Challenges are all in the wider Ashburton township and will test your team's mental, physical, creative and teamwork skills. The aim is to have fun! But there are also cash prizes for the winners, for the competitive among you! 

You'll get points at each challenge, so it's not just about getting speedily to the finish line, although that will help! Points will be awarded for best dressed teams so think about a costume or team kit that would set you apart from the others. 

Prizegiving and light supper will conclude the event, before you head home by 5 or 5.30pm.

To register you will need

- a team of exactly 5 members

- to pay $75 per team ($15 per person)

- a team name (enter it under 'last name' field when registering or advise later on)

Please note: entries will close when the maximum number of teams is reached, so get in quick to avoid disappointment. 

This event is being organised by Connecting Mid Canterbury - the charitable trust behind Mid Canterbury TimeBank & Keep Learning Mid Canterbury.  We love helping people connect & have fun!
