Race, uncover clues at Disney's Animal Kingdom (http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/features_orlando/2008/02/race-uncover-cl.html)

Walt Disney World is preparing an endurance test at Animal Kingdom, but it has nothing to do with how many times you can sit through "Festival of the Lion King," darn it.
The Expedition Everest Challenge (http://disneyworldsports.disney.go.com/dwws/en_US/endurance/events/detail?name=EnduranceEverestEventDetailP age), set for 7 p.m., Sept. 27, is part 5K run, part obstacle course, part scavenger hunt -- with an after party within Animal Kingdom. The race begins in the Butterfly section of the parking lot and proceeds with a loop through into the theme park. The course swings through DinoLand U.S.A., Asia, Rafiki's Planet Watch, then nips Africa and Discovery Island before running back to Butterfly section.
Once there, an obstacle course is set up. Upon completion of that, participants go back into the park for a scavenger hunt.
Those who complete the tasks will stay at Animal Kingdom for an after-party from 10 p.m. to midnight.
Registration begins Feb. 15 and is $195 for a team entry (two people) or $100 for an individual.
