Ten teams raced for bragging rights in the annual First Call for Help Amazing Race with the Team Who Must Not Be Named taking home the title in 2 hours 10 minutes and 57 seconds.
The annual fundraiser helps pay housing costs for people who are in danger of becoming homeless.
This was the largest group of racers the event has ever had.
The Flying Kiwanis took second and Don't Taze Me! took third.
The event consisted of teams of four driving around the city of Hays, completing challenges. The teams received clues at each stop that would lead them to their next challenge.
Businesses in Hays hosted challenges.
At Home Depot, the racers completed a string art project. At Hobby Lobby, they arranged words into famous quotes. At Vernie's Hamburger House, the team members drew cards for the right to build a paper hamburger.
At the Hays Community Theatre, the racers either performed a scene from Shakespearean play or created and performed an improvised duet act.
First Call for Help would like thank The Venue and Thirsty's, Kiwanis and Casey's General Store for sponsoring teams.
Other teams included Golden Belt Bank, First Baptist Boys, Better Together, Kansas Big Brothers Big Sisters, The Panhellenic Sisters, Circle K. International, FHSU Fury and The Lifesavers.
