Thank you Jim.. Yes, this is the one. Thank you for your help it means a lot!

I have done that excursion. There was quite a mix of ages and abilities.

 

The race itself is not scored strictly on time. It is a combination of time, achieving challenges, and your score on a quiz at the end. Here are some of the challenges on our race a couple of years ago:

 

Go to a local grocery store, and using local currency amounts, write down the prices of a list of items (some were hard to find)

Find a statue and write down a particular date on it - you have to read the plaques on the statue to find the date

Do a relay on the beach where one team member runs and fills a sponge with sea water while another squeezes it into a cup

 

So they are a mixture of physical and mental challenges. Some of them the kinds were best at, others the adults - if you have one or two physical folks, one or two puzzle folks you should do fine. They do not encourage you to run through the streets - a quick walk is best. The hardest part sometimes was just dodging traffic!

 

We had a lot of fun and enjoyed it quite a bit.

Thank you so much Minnie for you help. It means a lot, the race is to start at 12 and the ship is supposed to leave at 5. Not to mention we are to go to dinner at 5:30. Did want to leave the race early but I didn't want to cut it so close. It said 4 hours but I didn't know if it took that long.

We did the America's Cup race in St. Maarten. Is that the one?

 

 

There were about 15 paying guests. Only 4 of us did anything. The rest just enjoyed the ride.

thank you Jim for replying.. No, and that is the problem I am having. When I go to look it up the AC is what I get, but it's actually an excursion that is like the Amazing Race. Where it is a scavenger hunt.

check out the reviews on trip advisor

Thanks for the help. Tried, but didn't find but 2 things about it. :(

Also check the St. Maarten forum: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=93

Hello. My parents (70) and mom-in-love (60+) is going with us on a cruise. We have scheduled an excursion - The Race - St. Maarten. Did not know how strenuous it actually is, there are active, I just don't want to overdo it. Any information would be wonderful. Thank you.
