“The 2010 MOST Amazing Race” is an official event of the Minneapolis Aquatennial and will take place on July 24, 2010 leading the teams of two on a large-scale race around Minneapolis.  This fifth annual fundraising event benefits The Salvation Army's Bed and Bread Club®, which helps alleviate hunger and homelessness in the Twin Cities. Over $170,000 has been raised since the event started in 2006!

The race is patterned after the CBS reality show “The Amazing Race” and features teams of two completing mental and physical challenges at
popular locations throughout Minneapolis. Teams may qualify for the race two ways: by raising at least $2,000, or by being a top finisher at a
qualifying event held the morning of the race.

From the starting line, the final teams will be given a clue leading them to a checkpoint somewhere in Minneapolis. They can only use Metro Transit for transportation throughout the race. Upon arriving at the various checkpoints throughout the day, they will be required to complete a task in order to receive the next clue. Tasks would be either physically or mentally challenging, and could involve tedious activities, trivial contests, or food challenges.

The first team to reach the finish line will win the grand prize of $5,000 courtesy of Wells Fargo.
