UNSW Amazing Race

UNSW Wellbeing, working with HR and UNSW Engineering, bring you an exciting and challenging event to get your brains and bodies moving!

Inspired by a wonderful event held earlier this year in UNSW Engineering, the UNSW Amazing Race is a team-based challenge for UNSW staff.

How does it work?

Teams of four staff will race around the Kensington campus completing a set of challenges. Points will be awarded for tasks completed, with bonus points for team spirit!

Tasks will not be revealed until you arrive at the starting line on the day of your team's heat. You will need your phone and a campus map.

(Hint: It would be to your advantage to also peruse these interactive maps before the race.)

Who can join?

All UNSW staff are eligible to join, so long as you are able to be physically present on Kensington campus for your race. This is a team event - all members of the team must be present and run the race together.
