Silly Races

News 8's Veronica Castelo and Ricky Doyle bring you all the information you need to take part in a couple of races, where you don't necessarily have to be fast to win.



Event organizers tout this as the "one-day amazing race". Teams of two solve clues to find checkpoints throughout Alamo City, where they have to take photos or perform dares to finish the race.

You can sleep in for this race. Check in is at 11 a.m. Registration is still open.
