Teams at the starting line in Taylor's Subang campus
Twenty-three teams of two hit the ground running on 18 February, striding past the finish line two days later.
AdventuRace, organised by the Taylor’s Sky Adventure Club Subang Jaya, was based on the concept of popular reality series 'The Amazing Race', sending participants to various places as far as Kajang and Seremban.
The tasks before the competitors ranged from eating satay to abseilling, kite-flying and even peeling 100 onions with their bare hands.
Puzzles and mind-boggling clues also riddled the path to the finish line in true Amazing Race fashion.
The Sky Adventure Club also extended an arm into charity for this event, collecting donations and products for Rumah Keluarga Kami, a children's home in Klang.
Electrical items, kites and monetary donations collected from students and teachers were given to the home.
"The donations will be used to buy tables and chairs for the children as well as to fund them in building their 'Dream House' for a more conducive environment," Sheryl Hoe Kye Li, Assisting Organizing Chairperson of AdventuRace, said.
Teams had to bring goody-bags to the children there as one of their challenges.
Subang Parade was the final pit-stop and the closing ceremony was also held at the mall.
Team Macho – Joanne Chin Pui Shan and Tay Huey Yuin of Taylor’s – came in strong to take first place, with Team Amazing Drumsticks and Team Bro finishing second and third respectively.
“We were really shocked when we found out. We had been known as the ‘walking team’ because we didn’t like to run. We brisk walked!”, Tan said.
The podium teams won a month's membership at Celebrity Fitness and two personal training sessions each, Beryl's Chocolates, Domino's Pizza vouchers, Famous Amos Hampers and trophies.
The Sky Adventure Club TCSJ is happy with the success of AdventuRace 2011.
"It would definitely be one of those memories never forgotten by the members of Sky Adventure Club TCSJ,” Hoe said.
