'Amazing Race' Newport Beach?

Love the TV show? Then you'll love racing around the city on April 6 in a a clue-solving oceanside quest for bragging rights and a prize to be named later.

For the first time ever, CityRace is happening in Newport Beach.

The CityRace Urban Adventure Hunts, was inspired by the TV show The Amazing Race, where teams race around the world for a $1 million prize. Such a huge windfall will not await the winners of this particular oceanside adventure through Newport Beach, though, but there will be prizes ...

The object is to send teams of two to four players running around Newport Beach for three hours while they solve clues, answer site-specific trivia questions and crack codes. The CityRace will go from Balboa Island to the Peninsula's historic Pavilion, Pier, Fun Zone and more.
