The Long Lake Amazing Race/Road Rally is a timed driving event that is based on accuracy not speed. Each team requires a legal driver and navigator to call out instructions and directions. Teams can be as small as two or as many as can legally fit in the vehicle. Teams follow unique clues and specific speeds to reach targeted locations around Long Lake. Each location has a clue and specific task for the team to complete. Judges are hidden along the course to ensure each team member participates in the task or risks disqualification.
In past road rallies tasks included: writing postcards to the Long Lake Parks and Recreation Office, building a human pyramid, singing I’m a Little Tea Pot, pretending to be “Ghostbusters” and launching a search for a lost bear. Every year there are different activities and tasks. Teams do the activities in real time as the race is about accuracy, not speed. The team that comes closest to the official “time” without going over wins. Teams get bonus points for costumes and team themes.
In 2021 the Road Rally will be on Wednesday, July 21st at 7pm and line up and registration happening at the Mt. Sabattis Geiger Arena, 6 Pavilion Way. $5 Per Car per team.
The Long Lake Road Rally is held annually in July.
You can’t win, if you don’t play!
