The Great Race for Education - Treasure Island Edition Facebook Auction: DISADVANTAGE: Albatross. Bid in the comments section below!

This DISADVANTAGE is a real drag. The team to whom you give this curse will have to carry a not-so-light chest (an actual piece of luggage) with them the entire course. There will be a pole on each side to help carry it, but, sheesh, how awkward!

This ADVANTAGE is where your team of four runners, once they finish their final destination challenge, will be DRIVEN back to the finish line at The Waterfront in a CEI vehicle. Don’t worry, we know where your team will be finishing up.

This ADVANTAGE is where your team gets a fourth clue – a really good fourth clue – that can be used for any of the destination locations in the field. Keep this in mind…you will have questions; we will have answers.

Ah, yes, the classic 2-minute delay DISADVANTAGE. This is sure to take the wind out someone’s sails. Once the opening challenge is completed, the team who ends up with this will have to stand around for 2 minutes before they can be on their merry way!

The Great Race for Education - Treasure Island Edition Facebook Auction: ADVANTAGE: Ship to Shore - bid in the comments section below!

This ADVANTAGE is where your team of four runners, once they finish the opening challenge, will be DRIVEN to their first destination in a CEI vehicle. The runners will have to tell the driver where to go. The driver WILL NOT tell runners the destination's location.

Eww…no one is going to want to get this DISADVANTAGE. Once the opening challenge is completed, the team who ends up with this will have to juice a bag of oranges by hand into a provided receptacle before they can start running. Though pleasantly fragrant, the stickiness and discomfort could last a fortnight – or at least until there’s a chance to hose off – and you never know what kind of vermin it will attract. Crikey!

This DISADVANTAGE is where you get to send a team of your choosing off course by a quarter mile, or thereabouts, after they finish the opening challenge. In essence, they will have to run a quarter to half mile farther than any other team. Which team do you want to be blasted off course? Think hard about that one!
