BJC Health's Amazing Race

On Saturday, 37 of our gang (clinic staff & loved ones) gathered at our Chatswood rooms to take part in our annual BJC Health Amazing Race.

Over 4 hours, we attempted to decipher clues and complete challenges, racing around Sydney to beat the other teams to the next destination.

We're a pretty competitive bunch. So racing means actually running (or walking very, very fast) to get to each successive destination.

The challenges involved:

  • scavenging through a shop finding a noisy Japanese kid's toy
  • taking photos of 30 strangers being hugged by your teammates
  • convincing a salon to allow a teammate to wash and style another teammate's hair for $10
  • finding the location where the Wolverine could be found next to Nicole Kidman
  • scoffing an Adriano Zumbo macaron
  • finding some obscure cafe with a White Rabbit & A Global Clock
  • constructing a Nanoblock figure

I loved my team - Sarah, Shiv and Anne . They were really keen and pumped and we came 2nd out of the 10 teams.

It was a fun way to spend the afternoon. Lot of laughs were shared and we have stories to tell.
