The nail-biting Adventure Race Rush-A-Way, presented by Chuck E Cheese, is back on April 8, 2016. Team up with a buddy and put your skills to the ultimate test in this adventure race around Dubai. Teams will tackle 10 exciting challenges, as they race to the finish line. The winners take home grand prizes worth Dh25,000!
Taking place in Dubai for the third time, the event will see the participants navigating through unique challenges around Dubai.  Some of the challenges from the last race included presenting a script to real life TV presenters, learning a salsa dance routine, completing an obstacle course, making sushi rolls, finishing a bootcamp activity, eating a snow cone, packing a chair for relocation, finding prices of items listed on a shopping list and playing a game of darts. For the next upcoming race, participants will be tested on 10 new challenges set up at new locations around Dubai.
Rush-A-Way's is Dubai's home-grown brand and aims at helping the participants discover a myriad of activities and experiences in Dubai while building stronger bonds between team-members. Each challenge is designed to test one or more attributes like speed, logic, fitness, accuracy, perseverance, patience and navigation. Since tasks have to be performed as a team and spontaneous decisions need to be made along the course of the race, great team chemistry goes a long way in overcoming the obstacles and finishing the race in good time.
Sondos Shapsogh, who participated in the December 2015 race with her sister, writes in her blog, "We didn't win first prize, but winning is not always about a prize.  It's about the experience and it's one I will never forget.  We had a great time discovering the beautiful land of Dubai, we tried something new and it gave us memories that we can talk about for years to come."
How does it work?
Teams of two members each compete with other participating teams to finish the race first. In the course of the race, the teams navigate through different challenges that are set up around Dubai. After completing each challenge, the team receives their clue to the next challenge on their Rush-A-Way Race app. If the team does not complete a task within the time limit, they face a time penalty after which they receive their next clue.
Registrations are open on www.rushawayuae.com
Venue: A location in Dubai. Participants will be updated about the venue a week in advance.
