Race for Kids promises community impact and a lot of fun
Battlefords residents will have an opportunity support a community organization, and hopefully enjoy themselves at the same time. The Battlefords Boys and Girls Club is holding their second annual Capital One Race for Kids, Saturday.
The race will have teams competing in what the club’s executive director Nicole Combres said is a combination of The Amazing Race and Minute to Win It style competitions. She said details are top-secret, but teams will get clues about ten locations around the community and when they find each location they’ll have to complete a challenge before moving on to the next.
“Not only is Saturday just about coming out and having a lot of fun, it’s about helping make a difference for the children in our community, so it’s helping raise some money so that we can continue to provide quality programming to the community,” she said.
Combres said they have 12 teams so far, a few of which competed last year, but registration is open until the day of the event. Registration for a team of four is $40, and to be eligible for prizes the team needs to fundraise at least $360 before Friday night.
