The Community Bible Fellowship Christian School (CBFCS) Amazing Race held Saturday June 15, 2019 was a great event. There were 16 challenges that teams completed. Challenges tackled many aspects of intellect and physical ability.

From an Easter egg hunt to to a hike at Thunderhill to find a diamond at the slide, to word puzzles, a swim challenge, an eating challenge, a lock and key challenge…it kept teams hoping from 10:00-4:00.

Teams came and went from CBFCS all day. Those in the lead fluctuated all day. U-turns, detours and fast forward components added to the fun and the challenge of the day. No one team dominated the day.

The organizing committee was so proud of all teams for their sportsmanship and good attitude. The planning committee is excited to make this an annual event.

Congratulations to our top 6 teams. Scott and Isabelle Beehler took first place and $1,000 by only 2 minutes with teams close behind.
