The first, possibly annual, NTPC Amazing Race was successfully completed on Thursday October 21. Refresh and Reboot took home the wooden oak trophy after grinding through 8 action packed events and clues before running through the finish line! In total 4 teams were able to race and what an exciting race it was! Their treks took them from sorting out Northern flags at the museum to having to chase down a dinosaur on a bike ravaging through town... We hope to see you all out to compete in 2018!

Teams:

Refresh and Reboot - Glen (Captain)
Cunning Ravens - Scott (Captain)
The Deplorables - Matt M. (Captain)
Maurauders - Maritza (Captain)
