Once again, the Battlefords Boys and Girls Club is hosting an event billed as one where grown ups play but kids win.
Capital One Race for Kids is described as an urban adventure race held at 32 locations all over Canada between May 28 and June 11.
The event is back in North Battleford for its second year June 4 starting with team registration at 10 a.m. and the shotgun start at 11 a.m. The event is held in support of the Battlefords Boys and Girls Club.
The starting location is at the Battlefords Boys and Girls Club at 1301-104th St.
The event sees teams of four racers all race towards 10 checkpoints en route to the finish. At the checkpoints, the teams will solve clues and take part in exhilarating challenges.
According to a news release from the Boys and Girls Club, about 60 racers are expected to participate in the what is described as the “perfect combination between the Amazing Race and Minute to Win It.”
Proceeds will stay in the community to help the Battlefords Boys and Girls Club continue to provide “quality programming and activities for the children and youth in our community.”
