Modeled after the popular television reality series, "Canadian Outback's Amazing Race™" is an outstanding team building event combining communication skills, planning, strategy, teamwork, and a race against the clock. Anyone can participate as no special skills, athletic ability or experience are required.
"Every opinion voiced was respected and each individual contributed. Canadian Outback's Amazing Race is a valuable tool for team building!"
  
Choose one of our existing courses, or have us custom design an enhanced course to better meet your needs in a location of your choosing. We have operated this event in a myriad of locations through North America, from urban centers to remote lodges. For your convenience the race can start and finish at your choice of location(s).
Rain or cold? Not an issue. In many cities we can set up a virtually indoor race course with clever use of indoor public areas, covered walkways and transit making it happen. If you have a winter event in mind, let us know. Many clients tell us the elements end up making the bonding experience much more valuable!
Groups from 8 to 1000+ can participate at once. Groups are normally split into 2 teams (reds vs. yellows) then again into mini-teams whose goal it is to work together to complete the race in as little time as possible. Throughout the course mini-teams will come across a variety of signs:
 |
- Route Markers mark the location of additional route information.
- Road Blocks outline a specific task one person on each team must complete before moving on.
- Detours give a choice of 2 tasks your entire team must complete before moving on.
|
At the conclusion of the race, medals and a trophy will be awarded. Our hosts will tabulate results to determine both a mini-team winner and an overall team winner (reds vs. yellows).
Canadian Outback is the only company with the trademark rights to use "Amazing Race" in Canada. Be aware of others using the name illegally.

“The whole day was great, the various challenges were exciting, engaging, got everyone motivated, and even allowed us to lose our inhibitions. The benefits of the facilitated activities were being able to reconnect as a team and gain an appreciation for each other's work loads, fears, concerns, etc. I definitely would consider using Canadian Outback Adventures again for future events and training.”
Our definition of success is when teams have clarity of direction, focus on their critical issues, and place rigorous attention to the execution of plans they create and own.
