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

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

– #360win: A pair of Oakley sunglasses

The race will be held on Friday, April 17 and there’s still time to register your team before the Tuesday, April 14 deadline.
Rush-A-Way is the brainchild of organiser Hitesh Sharma, who is a big fan of ‘The Amazing Race’ and has watched all of the seasons. 

Sharma 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 win, 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 valued at Dh12,000. Second place will earn prizes worth Dh7,000, while third place will walk away with Dh4,000 in prizes. 

Tickets for each team are priced at Dh250 and can be purchased at fitnesslink.me/events/516/rush-a-way or rushaway.centraltickets.com/rushaway. 

What: Rush-A-Way adventure race
Where: South Dubai
When: Friday, April 17 from 11:00 to 18:00, with registrations closing on Tuesday, April 14
