Concert and 'Incredible' Race Planned for Saturday in Suwanee

Another example of the unique nature of Suwanee events is planned for Saturday.

For the second straight year, the city is hosting the Super Incredible Race. In 2013, it begins at 3 p.m. at Town Center Park.

According to a city news release, the race is a type of scavenger hunt, a la Amazing Race meets small-town America. Teams of two or more, or teams of family members receive a series of clues that requires them to complete a variety of high-energy mental and physical challenges.

In last year's event, contestants slurped spaghetti noodles, danced, raced on hippity-hops, solved a multi-step math equation for which the answer was 30024, and told a joke, among other activities.

Participants may compete on foot or bike and will travel to a variety of locations in the Town Center and Old Town areas. Participants should plan to walk/run or bike up to five miles. Completion is expected to take from one to three hours.

This year, there will be a concert following the race. Departure, a Journey tribute band, will perform at Town Center Park at 7 p.m. The concert is free and open to the public. (See the attached video for a sample of Departure's performance.)
