COSHOCTON - If you love watching the
show Amazing Race on TV, then you
need to form a team and join the fun on
July 29 when the Second Annual Snyder-
STRONG Amazing Race will be held in
Coshocton.
“We had 20 teams last year and are
hoping to top that this year,” said Steph-
anie Snyder, co-coordinator of the event,
along with Kendra Whiteus. “Last year,
they stopped at Triple Locks Theater,
Miss Jennifer’s Dance Studio, The Ware-
house, the fairgrounds and other places.
At each stop, the teams have to complete
a challenge to get a clue for the next stop.
You don’t need to be in great shape to
complete the challenges. This is a family
event and we had little kids form a team
last year.”
This year has new stops and new chal-
lenges, but some challenges teams faced
last summer included eating an order of
onion rings at the Warehouse, learning
and performing a dance routine at Miss
Jennifer’s and leading a llama through an
obstacle course at the Coshocton County
Fairgrounds. The challenges are meant
to be fun, not strenuous, and anyone can
join the fun.
“We have a prize for the team who com-
pletes the race first and also a prize for
the best costumed team. Their costumes
should go along with their team name,”
said Snyder. Prizes will be awarded at the
hog roast at Lapp Farms on US 36. The
hog roast will be at 6 p.m. and everyone is
invited, not just those who participated in
the race. Tickets for the hog roast are $12
for adults and $8 for children 12 and un-
der. Hog roast tickets can be purchased
on the same website that teams can use
to sign up for the race www.tinyurl.com/
ssamazingrace.
“We had 20 teams last
year and are hoping to
top that this year.”
-Stephanie Snyder
Teams need to sign up by July 21 and
that is also the last day to preorder hog
roast tickets. Snyder said, “If someone
just comes that night, we won’t refuse to
serve them, but we like to have an idea of
the number of people so we can have the
right amount of food.” Her mom, Alana
Lapp, prepares most of the food.
Registration is $100 per team and all
proceeds from both events will go to the
SnyderSTRONG Scholarship fund. “We
choose two River View High School grad-
uates that are going into the medical field
for our scholarship. Interested students
can apply through the Coshocton Foun-
dation,” said Snyder.
