If you ever wanted to be on the popular television game show ‘The Amazing Race’, here’s another chance to participate in a scaled-down version in the second Rush-A-Way adventure race.

Inspired by ‘The Amazing Race’, Rush-A-Way is an adventure race which will have teams of two travelling throughout Dubai to complete challenges that will test their mental, physical and navigational skills.

Back for its second edition after a successful first event in April earlier this year, the race will be held on 11 December.

Rush-A-Way is the brainchild of organizer Hitesh Sharma, who is a big fan of ‘The Amazing Race’ and has watched all of the seasons. He wanted to make the concept accessible to as many people as possible, while staying true to the idea of a challenging and fun race.

Teams will consist of two people, who will go from challenge to challenge to collect clues for the next task location. The team that crosses the finish line first will be announced the winner, so communication will be key.

The tasks will vary in genre, with skills challenges to test accuracy, physical challenges to test speed and strength and mental challenges to test brainpower and logic. It is recommended that each team use their own car and while GPS is allowed, navigational skills will be important to get around.

The team that crosses first and wins will receive a grand prize combination of cash, goodies and vouchers, and second and third place won’t walk away empty handed either. Whether your team places or not, one thing Rush A Way does guarantee is another fun event.

Tickets for each team are priced at AED 350 (AED 300 Earlybird) and can be purchased here.

What: Rush-A-Way adventure race

Where: South Dubai

When: December 11.
