Geocache Description:

This multiple multi-cache series is a variation on the popular TV Show. It will lead you to a number of spots around Halifax.

You can log each of the three caches individually or all at once but you will need to complete the legs in sequence in order to move on.

This is the final leg of the Halifax Amazing Race. You will need to complete the first two legs in order to find the clue that allows you to start the final leg of the race.


Teams must provide their own means of transportation and GPS unit; (a camera crew is optional). Teams will not receive any additional money for this leg of the race.

The listed co-ordinates are for a parking spot near the destination cache for the second leg of the race. Inside the destination cache for the second leg of the race will be a single waypoint (given in the UTM Nad83/WGS84 system) for the following Road Block.

Road Block: A task in which usually only one member of the Team may participate. However in this version of the Race, all members of the Team are free to help complete the task.

Road Block: Off-set Circle Cache

Teams must drive themselves to the clue waypoint location provided in the second destination cache.

The waypoint is 25 metres from the Pit Stop (the final cache) for this leg of the race. This is a standard off-set cache but no 'direction' is given so teams much search along the circumference of an imaginary circle with a radius of 25 metres centred on the waypoint. The cache is under a large rock and is not in the woods. The cache shouldn’t be too hard to locate but teams that don’t search carefully could find themselves going around and around in circles.

For the enjoyment of other teams following you, please take a moment to rehide the caches a little better and in the exact same spots you found them in.

This is the final Pit-Stop for the Race. Congratulations! There's no finish line, no TV cameras, no million dollars, no fabulous prizes or anyone waiting for you. Just the satisfaction of completing the race. The cache will have a log book for teams to record the completion of the final leg of the race.

The theme for trading items in this cache is......Travel!

We hope you enjoyed this series of caching challenges.
