THE RACE IS BACK, BACK AGAIN! 

The City’s Office of Historic Preservation invites you to face off in the ultimate urban scavenger hunt: The Amazing Preservation Race!  The only race of its kind – think CBS’s Amazing Race but in historic downtown San Antonio. Teams of 4 must follow clues and complete challenges to fill their passports before racing to the finish. The first team to cross the finish line with their completed passport wins!   

Friday, May 3
Legacy Park, 103 W Houston
Check-in @ 5:30 pm
Race start @ 6:30 pm

WHAT TO EXPECT 

The challenges' locations are top secret and spread apart. Expect to run/walk around 3 miles during the event. 

• Racers may use their cell phones to decipher clues and complete challenges. 
• The clues and challenge locations are based on San Antonio’s history and architecture.  
• No transportation beyond walking or running is allowed (no scooters, ride shares, etc.) 
• Teams are encouraged to be creative with a team name and costumes! 
• This is a competition! Prizes will be awarded to the top three finishers, best costume, and best team spirit. Top prizes include staycations!
