What We're About

Who We Are

We are a 20+ challenge race for teams of 2 that donates the proceeds to local charities!

In the two years before the first race, which occurred in April 2014, Tim Totten started discussing bringing a race like the one in Loveland, Ohio to Eustis, Florida.  Once the city agreed, he found the folks he needed to form the board, as well as many very dedicated people that would volunteer to help put on the race.  The board consisted of Timothy Totten, Jill Baker, Tammie Vinson, B.E. Thompson, Sandi Moore, Paula Jordan and Robin Richter.  


Effective with the March 29, 2025 race, the City of Eustis will be producing and presenting the Amazing Race for Charity!

ABOUT THE RACE

Based upon ideas from the hit CBS television series, The Amazing Race, this event is derived from a successful race that organizers in Loveland, Ohio have staged annually for the last fifteen years. The Amazing Charity Race (formerly Loveland's Amazing Race) has raised over half a million dollars for charity and now sells all 600+ team slots in less than 12 hours almost a full year in advance! Lake County's Amazing Race for Charity owes a debt of gratitude to the organizers in Ohio (Doug, Martin and company) for their logistical support preparing our very own version. UPDATE: The Ohio race has retired after 17 years.

Check out their website for details about the Ohio version. 


OUR RACE


Each year, with sponsors, grants and race registrations, we give out approximately $30,000 plus to 12 or so local Lake County Charities.

Charities fill out an application the year before to apply to be one of our recipients of funds.  They must offer their services, etc. to Lake County, Florida residents.


When all was said and done with the 2024 race, we had given out 

$296,384 to local Lake County Charities since 2014!

WHAT IS THE AMAZING RACE FOR CHARITY?

 While the details of the race are usually kept secret until the week before the race, we can tell you that past races have averaged between 5 and 6 miles on foot. Along the way, teams of two complete 20 challenge stations that may be as simple as solving a puzzle or reciting Miranda Rights to as difficult as building a 2-person tent or rappelling off a tower. While typical runners may take 2+ hours to complete the race, the overall winning times range from 1:30:00 to 1:40:00.

The race attracts serious competitors, marathoners, triathletes, adventure racers, and amateurs alike. 

At the end of the day, racers have learned a little more about the host city, enjoyed an amazing workout, participated as a team and, in some cases, worked with other teams to complete a challenge, knowing that their wild day has also benefited worthy local charities.

Racers must be at least 10 years old on race day to participate and their teammate must be a parent or guardian.  There are no exceptions.


You must wear our branded race shirts and race bibs on the course.  There are no exceptions.  You must also stay on our published race course for the entire race and no tagalongs are permitted of any age.
