The Amazing Race serves as a kickoff event for Leadership Clark County’s annual Community Leadership Academy. Each year, around 40 individuals join the academy and attend monthly sessions focused on the history of Clark County, as well as the needs of the community and leadership development.  

This year, 11 teams competed through eight hours of challenges across Clark County.
