He said normally the event averages about 100 teams signing up to participate in the race modeled after the popular television show “The Amazing Race.”
“The turnout was not what we were hoping for. We always do a spring and fall race so we’re going to move it to the fall, and keep on our regular schedule,” Benton said.
“We had some people that requested a Father’s Day (race), but it wasn’t enough support to make it worth a competitive event. Usually, you want 40 teams to make it competitive.”
He said the marketing and communications firm will refund the 10 teams their $40 participation fees.
