Bummer, but understand.
Know they take a lot out of you to put them together! Have a great summer! 
And thanks for letting us know! 1 -
I'm still hanging around here hoping for another race!
Anyone else still interested? This was one of my favorite challenges and it totally kept me motivated.
Perhaps we can put together a planning group to potentially launch a new race after the holidays? It doesn't need to be just one or two people doing all the work.4 -

I’m up for it Rae, would love to have another one!

An Amazing Race in the New Year would be great! @MissionEnforcer and I would be happy to do a Spring Race and I'd love to be a participant in a winter one!

I'd love to do the Amazing Race again. I have limited time to help plan, but would do what I can.1

I would love another race, happy to help plan it @RaeBeeBaby2

I'll definitely give it some more thought and put some ideas together over the next week or so. Probably after Thanksgiving. Any and all suggestions, help, volunteers would be most welcome!2

I would be in too2

Just wanted to hop on and say I'd love to do another Amazing Race too! This was the one challenge that I actually stuck to, and I think a lot of that went into the fantastic planning! The challenges were so well thought out and fun, and those spreadsheets --- oh my gosh. I can't imagine the time and energy that went into formatting those bad suckers. It was so great accessing the sheet and comparing team scores, or having that proud moment when I checked off a challenge.3

I had already privately prodded Hawkins about another, and good to see others would like to restart this challenge also!! It really helped me to get out there and get off the sofa knowing a team was counting on my exercise minutes.
And since I'm more so in maintenance all the "lose weight" challenges aren't doing much for me right now, and I need something to keep my activity levels up as I go through ebbs of personal motivation.
@RaeBeeBaby you do make a good point...if we all gather together and make it a team effort to do it, maybe there'll be less burden on just one person (or two) to continue it and do all the work.
If we have some guidelines (number of videos, number of challenges, types of challenges), I think a bunch of us could each put together a week of challenges for a certain location, and then be responsible for the questions for that week (does this count, does that count, can I do this instead, etc).
I've already offered to Hawkins to build out a week (or two or three) for locations based on places I've been (or doing research on places I'd like to go). We could even have people showcase their hometowns...I have a whole pirate themed one that I was thinking of for January (as it's our Gasparilla - the beginning of the pirate invasion in Tampa (festivities last for weeks/over a month)...argh!).
Some thoughts for locations I think I could put together:
Hometown Spotlight - Tampa (Gasparilla/Pirate theme (with some Cuban themes thrown in) - especially in mid to late Jan)
Turkey - Might be fun for around Christmas, as the guy who St. Nicklaus is based on was Turkey where I lived for a year...ironic given it's now a Muslim nation, so they don't celebrate Christmas, per se. (Though I'm not sure anything could beat that NYC Rockettes workout that we did last year.) I don't know what I'd put together for this but it could be interesting.
South Pacific Islands - someplace I've always wanted to visit, so would be fun to do some research on the culture(s). Not sure if it would be a focus on one island or do some island hopping to get enough put together.
The biggest thing is having an overall organizer to direct leg lengths (so the next location isn't too far or too close), review the weekly challenges (to be sure they meet guidelines), put together teams (and refill teams as people drop), and do the spreadsheet...though it seems like you could have a few people be put in charge of each area too.4 -
I agree with everyone that the Amazing Race challenges were the best, best, best! Unbelievably memorable---They kept me motivated and I learned so much! I have no idea HOW I could help, but I can make the coffee! lol 2
-
I’d be willing to help too!!! If we spread out the work it won’t be overwhelming for anyone.2

I have formed a smaller planning group to get the challenge running the second week of Jan. Invites sent to @RaeBeeBaby @b3achy @biketheworld @Cheriels82
If I have missed anyone or if anyone else would like to help out please let me know and I will add you. It will be fun 2 -

Thank you so much for forming the planning group! Plenty of room for others who might want to help out with a winter challenge!
@2run2ski - how you (or anyone else) could help is maybe to come up with some challenges based on your home town/state or places you have traveled or want to go. If several people took on a week or two then it wouldn't be so overwhelming for one or two people.3 -
Looking for six team captains for the new challenge starting in January! Please post here if you would like to motivate your team to success in the new Amazing Race!2

Added you @Dictorbutt but they ask approximate minutes of exercise per week. Range right now of responses is between 200-400.0 -
I definitely want to be included in this again! Sign me up! Any suggestions as to what needs to be included in a challenge for the week? (if I were to make one) ... Or should I go back and study the grand master's examples? (Hawkins) 2
