Thirteenth Amazing Charity Race a success [Video]
by Sam Smith Since 2005, The Amazing Charity Race has brought fun and philanthropy together. Through running, cycling, walking and an array of challenges, individuals compete for the fastest time in four categories.
Parent/Child, Male/Female, Male/Male and Female/Female contestant pairs completed an all-new course starting at Paxton Ramsey Park and ending at the Valley View Foundation barn. This year’s Amazing Charity Race featured twenty challenges including hauling greased watermelons into a lake, lawn bowling and Slip N’ Slide kickball.
Over the past thirteen years, the Amazing Race has donated $600,000 to various charitable organizations both large and small and local organizations including Loveland Magazine help sponsor the event.
Watch Loveland Magazine‘s video coverage of the event:
Produced by Loveland Magazine Directed/Edited by Sam Smith Second Shooting and Drone Operation by Jack Sexton Music: “Prologue” written and Performed by Loveland's own Ryan Mangan/Pocket From the EP L'Appelle Du Vide. Featuring Loveland Graduates DK Dews on bass and Drew Lowry on drums.
The 2018 Amazing Race gathered 545 participants. Although the exact amount of money raised is not yet known, according to organizer Doug Portman it has been around $70,000 the past few years. It will go to over 50 charities ranging from funding boy scout troops to bigger charities like the St. Vincent DePaul Society.
In addition to the participants, local charity organizations volunteer their time to coordinate, run water stations, direct events, ensure safety and more in order to receive donations. The Amazing Charity Race website states to prospective volunteers that the role entails “no pay, hard to define benefits and you’re already late for work”. One volunteer receives the Chief John E. Cooper Amazing Volunteer Award, earning their nonprofit $500 more than the initial donation. The winner will be announced at the awards banquet.

It’s so terribly hard to describe – that’s why we say, “Loveland Magazine is proud to present this LOVELAND MAGAZINE TV video highlight reel of the 2016 Race.
You just have to SEE it to UNDERSTAND it.
The Amazing Charity Race started in 2005 as Loveland’s Amazing Race and has grown into one of the biggest races in the whole Cincinnati tristate area! With a a little bit of this and a little bit of that – we make you walk, run, ride, think and do – all for the fun of it!
All of your entry fees go straight to all of our charities after we pay off our expenses for the race.
WHAT IS IT??: It is a full day of good natured competition, music and food and laughs. The race committee is laughing itself silly coming up with fun challenges. It is not a triathlon or a 5K race. It is not limited to runners or highly athletic individuals. It is a race in that it has a start and finish line but along the way it challenges the contestants in many ways. It is a fun, quirky, adventure that challenges the contestants agility, balance, coordination, strength, intelligence, problem solving skills, fine motor skills, and most important their sense of humor. You are invited whether it is to compete or join our team of over 500 volunteers so come enjoy, have a great time for a good cause and as always expect the unexpected.
This year’s race will feature more fun, less stress and an all new course!
