The second Amazing Race for Charity – Greene County will be held Saturday, Sept. 7, in downtown Jefferson. The chosen charity for all the proceeds is the new proposed animal facility for Greene County.
Pre-registration is suggested through the website at www.amazingraceforcharitygc.com with teams of two competing with good-natured challenges – physical, mental and new experiences. There is a limit of 50 teams. Staff at Greene County Chamber & Tourism and Jefferson Matters: Main Street can assist with registration.
Teams are encouraged to dress up in costume to add to the atmosphere. Check in time is 9 am at the Mahanay bell tower. The VFW post at 109 N. Chestnut St is offering a breakfast from 8 to 10 am with free-will donations going to the animal facility.
The Amazing Race competition begins at 10 am and will take roughly two hours. A barbecue lunch is provided for the participants and volunteers at the end of the race on the plaza area. A local live band that was initiated into the Iowa Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018, The Bushmen, will perform during the post party.
Participation as a sponsor is also available to support the charity with information found on the website. Sponsors can be individuals, businesses or organizations – anyone wanting to support this fundraising effort. Spectators are welcome to watch the teams as they compete and listen to concert.
