The race across South East Asia!
Get ready for the challenge of a lifetime as you and a friend pit yourself against fellow challengers in a race full of fun, excitement and new experiences across South East Asia. Taking it’s inspiration from the TV series we think we‘ve gone one better by adding a lot more fun and local experiences into the mix. You’ll be the first group to try this thrilling new way to explore and see the world! |
AND THE BEST PART, THE COST TO YOU IS JUST $550!
The Challenge
You and your team mate will have to each fundraise a set target amount for SIDS and Kids Victoria. Once you've reached this target, you're set to race. Heading off in teams of two, you'll face a variety of challenges set for you each day that will involve you interacting with the local culture and people, learning about the awesome places you’ll visit, testing your mental and physical prowess but most of all having fun! Be prepared to get out of your comfort zone, learn more about the world and yourself and have some unforgettable fun and adventure.

How does it work?
Each morning you’ll receive race instructions from your Intrepid leader that will give you clues to the challenge in that location. Teams race against one another to find more clues in each location and complete tasks that will earn points. Sometimes the day’s race will take place within one city or area and other times it will involve you racing from one location to another along with your luggage (so travel light!). Local transport will be utilized throughout the race and although some supervision is given participation will involve more self reliance on behalf of team members than previous challenge trips. |
Each challenge that you complete earns you points which accumulate towards an overall race total, the race legs are also timed so that the first teams in each day collect the most points. The race legs and challenges will be staffed by Intrepid leaders who will accompany you through the trip and ensure you don’t go too far astray! There will also be prizes awarded for the team that collects the most points in each country and a grand prize for the team that collects the most points in the race overall. But although there is an element of competition it’s really all about the journey and what you’ll experience along the way. We guarantee this will be one of the most fun and exciting things you’ve ever done and a completely new way to travel. You’ll also have rest days and time off in each major location to look around and relax so you’re not focused on the race all the time and can enjoy your surroundings.
Where will the amazing race take you?
Travel across two international borders and through Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. You’ll see many well known and beautiful places and at other times venture right off the beaten track in true Intrepid style! Highlights of the race include Ho Chi Minh city, the Mekong delta, a boat up the Mekong river, the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh, the ancient Temple city of Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, Bangkok and a stunning finish line on the beaches of Southern Thailand.
What will you need to take part?
The Amazing race will require each team to bring a digital camera, a mobile phone (we’ll supply local SIM cards) and a huge sense of fun and adventure. A good level of physical fitness is not a pre-requisite though it may help on some of the challenges. The challenges are intended to favour different abilities so everyone has a chance of winning. The challenges you’ll face will vary in their nature and require a mix of mental & physical skills, determination, common sense and good luck!
And the prize?
The winning team will receive: A prize of $1000 AUD
