Local Students Compete in 'Amazing Race' at Foxboro Y

Local students participated in the 'Amazing Race' on Sunday at the Foxboro YMCA branch. Hosted by the Tri-Town Drug and Alcohol Awareness Partnership, mixed teams from Foxborough High, Mansfield High and Norton High School, “raced around the world", as they completed various challenges on their way to the finish line.

The challenges tested students’ problem solving skills, coordination, stamina, and ability to persevere as they navigated through their eleven-country course.
