Sign up for the Amazing Race Judicata!
On October 7, SBA will host its Second Annual Amazing Race Judicata. The proceeds from this event will help provide local families with Thanksgiving meals. Anyone can participate!
We will have a series of challenge points around IU's campus. All participants will start with a series of clues, and each clue will take you to a challenge point where you will complete a mystery challenge in order to gain permission to move to the next station. This race is entirely on foot so while we encourage you to be creative, please plan on wearing comfortable sneakers and leaving your wheels at home. Last year's competitors finished the race in under an hour, so this is the perfect way to kick off a new week and still have time to study.
You may either sign up as a group of two or three people.
The donation for a two person team is $10.
The donation for a team of 3 people is $15.
There will be prizes for the first and second place teams, and breakfast for all participants.We will be selling tickets for this event in the lobby every day from 12-1. One member of your team may register and pay for the entire team.
