Inaugural racers are those that have registered for every race since we began in 2014. They receive a special race shirt, as shown here by Shananne and Jessica in 2021.
They also have their race bibs placed perfectly for identification purposes.
Race bibs are provided for identification purposes and MUST be clearly visible from the time you arrive at the starting line until the race is complete. Your very first photo at the starting line should have your bib number prominently shown. The racers in this 2021 photo have them placed perfectly.
It is against our rules to race in any shirt other than our branded race shirts. This is mentioned many, many, many times throughout the weeks before the race. We reserve the right to remove you from the race without a refund if you do not wear our shirt.
However, you can dress up your outfit to suit yourself. In fact, we encourage it! The race if designed for fun, so make it as much fun as you want!
We guarantee and promise you will get wet, and during some races, many times.
Don't wear your new shoes! You must have shoes on during the times you are going from challenge to challenge. Safety first and last!
Yes, we are going to make you do weird things during the challenges. You can bet on it!
Will you be expected to lift anything heavy while doing the challenges? No, but if you choose to lift your team mate, you're on your own!
(You will never be expected to lift anything that you are physically incapable of lifting. Just say the word if something is too heavy and we'll adjust your challenge!)
Racers must be at least 10 years old on the day of the race. This is not negotiable. At least one racer MUST be a legal adult. It can be a parent or guardian.
No, you cannot have your friend, child, neighbor, best friend, aunt, grandmother... tag along with you on the race course. Each and every racer must follow the published race course. Short cuts or other diversions are not permitted. This is not negotiable. If you cannot finish the race for any reason, simply let a volunteer or Quadrant Captain know and they will send someone to pick you up and take you to your vehicle or call 911, as is appropriate.
Our race teams are teams of two (2). No more, no less.
Get out of doing the worst challenge - it's usually gross! By paying $5 cash per racer.
You can still do the challenge if you insist, but we recommend against it!
Last year, we used all the expired can foods from Lake Cares Food Panty to fill up a big plastic tub and only a very few of you chose to put your hand in there!
We appreciate each racer, each sponsor, each charity, and each volunteer that has worked with us to benefit the Lake County, Florida community. Since 2014, we've donated, with your help, over $296,384 to local charities!
And countless other items like diapers and detergent... The list is long!
In the months before the race, the Original Board of the Amazing Race for Charity, Inc. would send out several emails to let you know super important details about the race. The City of Eustis is not following the same format we used, so please feel free to email them directly if you have questions at events@eustis.org.
Our email address is events@eustis.org - The City of Eustis is now managing the race!
