Hi there, Glad you are on your way, and it sounds like you are off to a good start! This thread is for those that want to read about the challenge, so please do not keep posting your progress here. You should keep track of your fitness in your fitness tracker and your water, fruit and veggie intake on the side, no need to post it on our team page. Thanks, and have a great race!

This sounds like a blast and though I will be continuing on my own personal "Amazing Race" with my husband (we leave for Brussels Belgium this weekend & I will still be there when this begins), I really need a boost in the exercise department, and this just might be the extra 'spark' that I need.

Hey Everyone! As we wind down on our current Spark version of the Amazing Race, let me tell you it has been a BLAST!!
As we await a couple more racers to cross the Finish Line, I want you to all start buzzing about the next race that will be coming thanks to the popular demand!! (Thank YOU so much for loving this!!)
The next race will also be 7 legs, and run in pretty much the same format as the first one, but with a few changes. I will also be running it in July and I realize that some may be away, but please know that you can stop and then pickup where you left off if you like. If you didn't race in the first one and you need some info as to how it is run, please read the challenge information that was posted for the May 15 race, and feel free to ask me anything at anytime!
Please indicate your interest here by replying and also let me know if you have a favorite spot that you would like to visit on the race! I won't be able to accomodate everyone, but it may be fun to be able to have a few requests in there!
Also, please remember to stop by our huddle and cheer on our remaining racers as they near the finish line!
Race On!! ~ Tanya
