Schools & Fundraising Races
This is where the magic really happens.
We help schools and community groups turn an Amazing Race into a fun, engaging fundraising event that people actually want to be part of. Instead of simply asking for donations, you’re creating an experience that brings your whole community together.
Students (or even families) take part in a race filled with challenges, activities, and creative tasks, all designed to keep energy high and participation strong. Along the way, fundraising is built into the structure, whether through team entry, sponsorships, or challenge-based contributions.
It naturally creates excitement across the school. Kids are engaged, parents get involved, and local businesses can be brought into the mix as sponsors or checkpoint hosts.
It’s not just a fundraiser… it becomes an event everyone talks about.
Why Schools Love It
What makes this work so well is how inclusive and flexible it is.
Every student can participate in some way, regardless of ability, and the format can be adapted to suit different age groups or learning outcomes. For younger years, we can incorporate geography and mapping elements, while older students can tackle more complex problem-solving and strategy.
At the same time, it creates a genuine sense of community. Parents, teachers, and local businesses all play a role, which helps build momentum leading into the event, and often results in stronger fundraising
Turn Team Building Into Real Impact
Looking for a team building experience that does more than just bring people together?
Our Charity Amazing Race takes everything teams love, fast-paced challenges, problem-solving, laughter, and a little bit of friendly chaos, and turns it into something meaningful.
Whether you’re a corporate team wanting to give back, or a school or community group raising funds, we design fully customised Amazing Race experiences that blend fun, purpose, and real impact.
From city-wide adventures to on-site events, every race can be tailored to support a cause, drive fundraising, or create genuine community connection.
Because let’s be honest… team building feels even better when it actually means something!
How It Works
We take the classic Corporate Amazing Race format and layer in a charity or fundraising twist that feels natural, not forced.
Teams race between checkpoints completing a mix of creative challenges, photo missions, and problem-solving tasks. Along the way, the impact element is woven into the experience. Points can translate into donations, certain challenges can unlock contributions, and bonus tasks can create moments of giving back.
The result? A high-energy event that still delivers on fun and competition, while also contributing to something bigger.
And the best part, we can run this almost anywhere. Whether it’s a buzzing CBD, a school, a park, or a conference venue, we’ll shape the experience around your location and goals.
Corporate Charity Races
If you’re looking to elevate your next team day, this is where things really shine.
Our corporate charity races are designed to align with your company values, CSR initiatives, or chosen charity partners. Rather than a standard team building day, this becomes an experience your team actually connects with.
We can incorporate donation-based scoring, charity-themed checkpoints, and meaningful “give back” moments throughout the race. It might be something hands-on, something creative, or something that raises awareness, all seamlessly built into the experience.
It still feels like a Corporate Amazing Race. It’s still competitive, fast-paced, and full of laughs. But now, there’s a deeper layer that leaves a lasting impact long after the finish line.
Perfect for conference breakout sessions, end-of-year celebrations, or large-scale team events where you want something a little more meaningful.
Flexible, Custom & Mobile
No two charity races are ever the same, and that’s exactly how we like it.
We’ll tailor the entire experience to suit your group, your location, and your goals. Whether you want a city-based adventure, a school-focused event, or something integrated into a larger festival or conference, we can make it happen.
Everything from the challenges to the scoring system can be customised to ensure the experience feels seamless, engaging, and aligned with what you’re trying to achieve.
Why It Works
People naturally engage more when there’s meaning behind what they’re doing.
By combining fun, competition, and purpose, you create an experience that feels bigger than just a team building activity. Teams are more motivated, more connected, and more invested in the outcome.
And that’s what makes this so powerful, it delivers all the benefits of a traditional Amazing Race, while also creating something that genuinely gives back.

What is a Charity Amazing Race?
It’s a fully customised Amazing Race-style event where teams complete challenges and race between checkpoints, but with a purpose. We build in fundraising or charity elements so the experience not only brings people together, but also gives back.
How does the fundraising element actually work?
We tailor this depending on your goals. Some events link points scored to donations, others include sponsorship per challenge or team, and some incorporate fundraising tasks throughout the race. For schools, this can also include entry fees or community sponsorship. We’ll guide you on what works best.
Can we choose our own charity?
Absolutely. You can nominate a charity that’s meaningful to your team or community, or we can help suggest options and even build the event around that cause.
Is this suitable for schools?
Yes, and it works incredibly well. We design school-friendly races that are fun, inclusive, and age-appropriate, while also helping drive fundraising. It’s a great way to get students, parents, and the wider community involved.
Do we need to organise anything ourselves?
Not much at all. We handle the planning, logistics, and delivery. If it’s a fundraising event, we may collaborate with you on sponsors or messaging, but we’ll guide you through the process so it feels easy.
Can local businesses get involved?
Definitely, and we encourage it. Local businesses can sponsor checkpoints, donate prizes, or be part of the experience. It’s a great way to build community engagement and boost fundraising outcomes.
Can this work for large groups or big events?
Absolutely, Charity Amazing Races are perfect for large groups.
We regularly design events for big teams, conferences, and large-scale community gatherings, and the format scales really well. Multiple routes, staggered starts, and creative checkpoint setups mean everyone stays engaged, even with higher numbers.
In fact, larger groups often create even more impact when a charity or fundraising element is involved, thanks to the collective energy and contribution.
