Amazing RaceThe Amazing Arboretum Race will begin with a clue to your first destination--once you find the bin inside you will find an activity the team needs to complete before getting their clue to the next location. There are 10 locations to complete before you are finished. The first team back with all activities completed wins bragging rights and 2 VIP Arboretum Tickets per team member. 

Options of 1-1.5 hours--only the quickest teams will finish in that time--we suggest planning for 2 hours and/or having a designated stop time. Can adjust race for a 1-hour time.
