AFIS Amazing Race

AFIS (Australian Federation of International students) are hosting their AMAZING race event which is based on the TV series.

This is on again on the 20th. Here you race in teams of 4 or 5 people and you meet at Federation Square at 10am. There you'll get your first clue. And from there its a race to the finish line. Here there are various fun tasks along the way to do. This is a great way for students to explore Melbourne and make friends.

Its $5 to register and it includes only one snack. Its best to bring your own protein snacks for the trail. What I would like to bring is a protein shake or two and some lunch as you are bound to be hungry along the way.  Also do bring a water bottle or two.

Melbourne does have four seasons in a day so its best to bring an umbrella, hat and sunblock as you will be outside.

AFIS's Amazing Race

As part of Bupa's best blog competition for 2015

AFIS has done a few Amazing race events where we had lots of fun with our teammates finding out lots about Melbourne and walking around. Here we went to eight stations (some of us only went to seven stations as we had other places to be).

It was $3 to get in but we got complimentary McDonalds burgers to start the race off with. We had not much time for lunch so I suggest packing your own. And you do need your own water bottle.

The first stop was the Botanic Gardens. This one was the hardest of all as it involed lots of walking and burning those unwanted calories.

Right near it was the Shrine of Rememberance. And the silly posing.

At Batman park it was all about food and trying out the wasabi and vegemite sandwiches. The wasabi one was so spicy but I did enjoy a snack or two.

Then it was over to Ross House for cards. This was quite challenge as we had to build a pyramid and ours kept on falling over.

Then it was over to Flagstaff gardens and Carlton Gardens for more fun.

Then it was over to Bourke St Mall and that's when I said my goodbyes. Later on I found out that I had burned 950 cals and burnt off my 600 cal burger by all that walking.

Many thanks to AFIS for having me. And do join their next one which will be sometime soon!
