(as inspired by The Amazing Race)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each team of four participants will have a list of mandatory and optional tasks, and a time limit.&amp;nbsp; The more you can do, within that time, the better - and of course, bonus points for extra creativity as a team!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We can&amp;#39;t wait to see what you and your teammates can do, together!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instructions for Participation:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please arrive at Waikiki Beach Walk at 4:30pm for check-in, so that we can ensure that all teams are present and make some announcements before promptly starting the clock at 5pm and launching the first clue!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your team will be required to create a private Instagram account sometime between when you register and&amp;nbsp;check-in for Challenge Day; if you need assistance, please let Ashley know.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, for an additional donation to Charity Walk, we are happy to make a volunteer available to provide dedicated social media assistance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you for supporting Oahu Chapter and the Oahu Visitor Industry Charity Walk! We look forward to seeing you then!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
