The Human Race is a road rally, something like a scavenger hunt, but for locations. It is based loosely on the 1980 movie Midnight Madness (featuring Michael J. Fox in his first theatrical role), which itself was based on the "The Game", created in 1973 by Donald Luskin and Patrick Carlyle. The most important location, the finish line, is not actually known until you get there!

 

Most people's experience with rallies like The Human Race come from the CBS reality show The Amazing Race, though the challenges in The Amazing Race are usually more physical, where the challenges in The Human Race (and originally, The Game) are far more cerebral.

 

The Human Race has travelled around the NY/NJ/PA tristate area for over 30 years and hs seen a recent renaissance, with our next race taking place in downtown Manhattan!
