The Magayon Fest Amazing Race is an adventure race highlighting many of our community’s unique features and heritage. Teams of two individuals will race around the Province of Albay in competition with other teams. Teams strive to complete challenges in three different categories to win major cash prizes. Challenge categories include: Arts & Culture and Hands-on, Fun and Festivals, and Adventure & Sports.


The race starts in the City of Legazpi. Teams must then follow clues and instructions and make their way to checkpoints in places around the province, eventually racing back to the finish line in Legazpi City. Along the way they perform tasks that represent the culture of the present city or municipality.

At the beginning of each leg of the race, each team receives an allowance of cash with their first clue. All expenses (attraction admission, transportation, food) must be purchased from this allowance. Any money left over after a leg of the race can be used on subsequent legs. The clues in each leg point the teams to the next destination or direct them to perform a task, either together or by a single member. These challenges are related in some manner to the town or culture where they are located.

Contestants travel to and within multiple municipalities/cities in a variety of transportation modes, including PUJ’s, PUV’s, bus, and tri-mobile. Teammates must race the entire race together; they cannot split up (except when instructed to do so by a clue, albeit temporarily) or continue on without each other.

Race Legs

Leg Structure

Each leg of the race shall consist of initial Route Marker, pointing the team to where they must go and directing the teams to the Check-in Mat at the Pit Stop. Teams are required to complete each task in order

The Check-in Mat

When teams arrive at the Pit Stop, they must step on the Check-in Mat – the official finish line for that leg – in front of the assigned YA overseer and a local greeter that represents the community they are presently in. If the team has incurred any penalties or failed to complete a task, the YA overseer will tell the team their arrival position and instead of checking them in, they will be ask to return to the missed task.

Pit Stops

Pit Stops are the final destination in each leg of the race, and where teams go after checking in at the mat. Each Pit Stop has a Mandatory Rest Period which allows teams to “eat, sleep, and mingle” with each other. During Pit Stops, teams will also interview to provide commentary and voice-overs for the completed leg. While teams are restricted to where they can go, teams are free to use the remaining time for any purpose as they see fit. During the Pit Stops, racers are required to relinquish Race – provided material from the previous legs, including clues, maps, and additional instructions.

Final leg

The first part of the leg includes intermediate destination(s) where the teams must travel to complete a task. The second part of the leg has teams traveling to a final destination where they will check in (final pit stop). The first team to reach the finish line wins the race and the top cash prize.
