Adventure Race
St. Maarten/St. Martin has its own version of TV’s challenging competition.
Ever wonder what it might be like to take on the challenges of
globetrotting contestants vying to reach the finish line on TV’s The Amazing Race? Sign up for Adventure Race St. Maarten, created and hosted by adventure tour operator Tri-Sport. You won’t travel the world, but you will get to know the island in a way that many visitors never do.
This adventure island race takes you and your team through Philipsburg, the Dutch-side capital town. The race brings together action, adventure and sightseeing in a fast-paced, fun environment. Armed with a map, you’ll solve clues that lead your team to its next destination or direct you to perform a task, or complete a challenge for bonus points. It’s the perfect activity for the entire family, especially the kids.
The nature of each optional challenge is different. Some are mental and some are physical. They range from building a sandcastle and sampling a traditional food to jumping in the ocean. How’s that for adventure?
The tour takes about two and a half hours and consists of walking some four kilometers/2.5 miles of walking around town. There is no age or fitness restriction, but one member of your team should be prepared to go for a short swim in the ocean.
Take the race at your own speed — fast paced or leisurely. The winner isn’t always the first to cross the finish line. The final score is based on race time and points earned for challenges. The winning team is announced in an awards ceremony, and each team member takes home a prize.
