Race/LA, the annual clue-solving adventure race based loosely on “The Amazing Race” TV show, returns this year on May 16 and May 23. This year, Race/LA moves from LA County to Orange County for the very first time!
Held yearly since 2004, Race/LA is a 5-hour competition that sends teams of two to locations around Orange County, where they perform fun and unique challenges and solve tricky clues that lead to their next destinations, all while racing against other teams in a heated competition to reach the secret finish line first.
During the race, players make their way to a variety of locations, both famous and little-know, traveling by car, on foot and sometimes by other methods. Previous Race/LA locations have included Watts Towers, SkySpace, Walt Disney Concert Hall, The Biltmore Hotel, La Brea Tar Pits, Museum of Neon Art, Hsi Lai Temple, American Military Museum and many others.
Race/LA will be held on two consecutive Saturdays: May 16 and May 23, beginning at 8:30 am. The cost is $320 per team of two. Registration and more information can be found online at www.racela.com.Race/LA - Orange County
