    • Treetops Amazing Race - March 12 - 14, 2010 (all day)

Based on the Emmy award-winning reality series airing on CBS, Treetops brings back its own version of the Amazing Race. This is the 6th annual event at Treetops, which was highly successful in past seasons as 12 teams of four raced across the resort and into downtown Gaylord having an absolute blast.

New for 2010!

We are offering three different ways to compete! You may race in a Kid’s Division (ages 13 and younger) or choose to be in a Low Impact Division (less running!) or the Open Division (for all ages, teens and adults welcome).

Proceeds from this year’s event will once again benefit the athletic departments of Otsego County Schools such as Gaylord, Johannesburg-Lewiston, Vanderbilt and Gaylord St. Mary.
