Have you watched the Amazing Race television show and wondered if -- or were sure you could -- compete? If so, check out the Great Escape 2010, which is looking for globetrotters and adventurous travelers to join its annual Global Scavenger Hunt. Dates for the 6th annual adventure race are April 9-May 1, 2010.
The Global Scavenger Hunt is a treasure hunt that takes ordinary people on an around-the-world search starting in Los Angeles and ending in New York - after stops in ten countries. During the race, teams will be challenged in both mental and physical ways, while gaining insights into local cultures. In addition to providing a unique experience, the Global Scavenger Hunt is designed to raise money for several internationally-focused humanitarian organizations.
