Race to the Finish With The Burdekin Academy's Amazing Race

In support of the Burdekin Academy’s Junior Water Festival Ambassadors, Cole and Stella, the Academy are excited to announce their fundraising event, "The Amazing Race!"

The event will kick off at 1pm at the Ayr Hotel on Saturday 24 August, with teams set to tackle their first challenge and receive their first clue. This clue will send them on an adventure around the Burdekin area, where they will hunt for clues and complete various challenges!

Participants can expect a variety of tasks, including food challenges, photo challenges, easy physical activities, and gathering local information, and the race will conclude back at the Ayr Hotel once all the required challenges are completed.

Prizes will be awarded for the best-dressed team, first place, and several other categories throughout the race along with extreme bragging rights to be bestowed upon the celebrated winner of The Amazing Race!

Entry is $15 per person, which includes a sausage sizzle, and the community is warmly invited to nominate their teams now by emailing The Burdekin Academy at theburdekinacademy@outlook.com.

“A BIG THANK YOU to Ayr Hotel who are our major sponsors for this event, providing meat trays for raffles and an event space to hold the award presentations,” shared Amy Cranitch, Club Manager and Head Coach of The Burdekin Academy.

Come along and support the Ambassadors of the Burdekin Water Festival, and “Bring it Back”!
