DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION: Tuesday, June 7!!

You've seen and heard of the hit reality TV show, now NEH Magazine is bringing our own version of THE AMAZING RACE to Seoul.

On SATURDAY JUNE 11, get a team together (maximum four members) and get ready to see Seoul like you've never seen it before! In a race that will redefine how you see the country's capital, travel to some of Seoul's cultural hot spots and compete to win a cash prize!

Starting at Yeuoinaru Station, teams will receive clues along the race that will have them doing challenges, experiencing local culture and upon completing the challenges will direct them to their next stop eventually leading to the final pit stop where the first team to arrive will win the race! There are no eliminations, just good old fashioned racing!

To register, teams will pay a registration fee of 40,000 won and should send the names of their team members to [email protected].

TO BE CLEAR, the maximum number of participants per team is 4. However, if you want to have only two people on your team -- it's also possible. It's up to you: do you go with a fewer number of people to move faster but having to each do more challenges or more people doing fewer challenges and moving slower? It's up to you but the registration fee is the same for all teams.

How does it work?
Teams will start at the same location but will be sent to different pit stops along the race. At each challenge, teams will videotape themselves completing the challenge and upon completion, they will be given their next clue.

You'll need to bring with you ...
A video camera or camera capable of taking video
Your t-money card
Your photo ID
Your registration fee
Lots of energy!

SEOUL IS WAITING FOR YOU.
GOOD LUCK.
TRAVEL SAFE.

GO!

*Please note: this is obviously not the REAL Amazing Race and it's not connected to the show, its producers or CBS in any way. It's just for fun.
