TruEagle’s Rush-A-Way is back for another edition with even more challenges to test those up who are up for it in the UAE.
Inspired by ‘The Amazing Race’, a popular reality television game show, Rush-A-Way will bring its own version of an adventure race to Dubai on Friday, December 11.
Contesting teams – made up of two members – will take on 10 unique and exciting challenges around the city, meant to be both fun and competitive.
April’s event included challenges in which participants had to learn lines of Mandarin and German, perform a Salsa dance, make sushi rolls, solve brain teasers, eat four flavours of donuts and finish a bootcamp activity.
The challenges are designed to hone in on different skill sets, such as speed, logic, fitness, memory, teamwork and more. Being an athlete or in good shape isn’t required, which is why anyone can take part and do well, as long as they work together and coordinate with their team.
To win Rush-A-Way’s grand prize, teams have to finish the race first by travelling from location to location, reading clues and completing challenges successfully.
The clues provided at each task will bring teams to their next location or require them to perform a task, which can be done either solo or with both members of the team. If teams do not complete a task within the time limit allotted, they can suffer a time penalty before they receive their next clue.
The first team to complete all challenges and cross the finish line will win the grand prize of Dh12,000 in cash and kind. All other teams that finish will earn a Dh250 voucher to a shop at TruEagle and a goody bag worth Dh750.
To take part, competitors need to be above the age of 16 with one member of the team holding a driving license. Teams will need to have their own car so they can drive between task locations and are free to use GPS or the internet to navigate.
Teams can choose which session they want to race in on the day, with a morning session starting at 07:30 and an afternoon sessions beginning at 13:30.
Registration for the event costs Dh350 until November 28 and is then Dh420 until December 6, as long as spots are still available. Included in the fees are snacks, refreshments and a goody bag at the finish line. Visit www.rushawayuae.com to sign up and for more information.
