"Amazing Race" For Regular People

NYT's Practical Traveler (I love this practical traverler column!) recently featured a company that does "Amazing Race" style tours for regular people!

Competitours is organizing European competitions where ~17 pairs of teams compete for a $9k prize. It costs about $2,500 and includes roundtrip airfare to a "surprise" European location, 7 days of lodging and a bunch of challenges at each location. Since the site says it's like Amazing Race but without the "stress", it sounds more like fun scavenger hunts in each location you go!

Pretty cooool for a non-traditional European vacay =P
