BUFFALO — Buffalo’s Most Amazing Race will be held Saturday throughout the city.

Patterned after the CBS show “The Amazing Race,” this Most Amazing Race combines challenges that are physical (kayaking, running, rock climbing), mental (puzzle solving, strategizing), and sometimes even silly (singing, eating contests), which scatters teams of two all over Buffalo.

The conclusion of the race involves a check presentation to the winning team as well as prizes to other top performing teams. Teams must raise funds to benefit The Salvation Army’s programming in order to qualify for the race, and are awarded advantages in the race and great prizes for being among the top fundraisers.

If you want to join Buffalo’s Most Amazing Race, and organizers say that you do, both members must register and raise a minimum of $250 (per team). Signup ends Wednesday at BufffaloSalvationArmy.org/race.
