Village Ventures: The Great Parent Race — Manly

VILLAGE VENTURES: THE GREAT PARENT RACE

You made the baby. Now come make some mates.

Join us in Manly for a two-hour Amazing Race-style adventure created specifically for parents and their little ones aged 0–2. You can bring your other kids too.

You'll be put into teams before setting off on a fully pram-friendly race through Manly, following clues, finding checkpoints, solving puzzles and taking on hilarious challenges along the way.

Expect clues, competition, teamwork, a little chaos and a LOT of laughs.

Some challenges will test your brain. Some will test your teamwork. Some may involve your smallest teammate. And absolutely none require you to be particularly fit.

Come solo, bring a friend, grab your partner or get a whole crew together — it’s completely up to you.

Already have a team? Amazing — come together and take on the course as a crew.

Coming on your own or with just one other person? Equally amazing. We’ll make sure everyone is included and ready to race.

There’s no “right” way to come to The Parent Race — the whole point is getting parents out, having a laugh, meeting people and doing something ridiculously fun together..

After we crown our first Village Ventures champions, we'll head to a nearby family-friendly pub for anyone who wants to stay for lunch, a drink and more time with their new village.
