They all crossed the finish line in under an hour and a half, well chilled but in good spirits after racing through five challenges. The Great Radiothon Race is an Amazing Race -type event that the WDH Founda- tion has run in conjunction with the annual Healthcare Heroes Radiothon for the past two years. This year's challenges had teams run- ning up and down a hill fill- ing buckets with only a sponge, searching blind- folded for puzzles pieces which they then had to con- struct, identifying varieties of unmarked baby food, com- pleting an elaborate obstacle course set up by the North Huron Recreation Depart- ment which included rolling a tractor tire and crossing a water tank on a thin wooden plank, and eating real crick- ets and larvae.
