Save the Date: The (almost) Amazing Race - Friday 30 October

It is almost that time of year again! Our annual "Almost Amazing Race" will be bigger & better this year. As part of Veteran's Health Week, we will be opening up categories for Units, families and School students (must be accompanied by an adult). Teams are invited to jog, walk or sprint their way through a series of checkpoints and challenges in a race against the clock to find the most clues.  Enter a team (2-5 people), test your skill and have some fun. We will be looking for the most original team name and the best dressed team. The event is suitable for everyone from families with prams through to teens, couples and single members.
