Ages 1 - 100 Race For $250,000!

Quick Overview

The competition concluded with the 7-year-old contestant, Gunner, successfully making the final soccer shot, winning the $250,000 prize money, which he decided to use for other people.

Key Points: The main event involved contestants from ages 1 to 100 competing in various physical challenges for a $250,000 grand prize. The first challenge was an outdoor race on a striped track where the first five and last five contestants in each age decade were eliminated, eventually narrowing the field. Challenge #3 was a Dunk Tank where contestants shot arrows at targets, causing the opposing team members to fall into water; the purple team successfully eliminated two opponents. Challenge #4 was a soccer shootout where the 7-year-old contestant, Gunner, was chosen to be the goalkeeper against the 28-year-old kicker, with the 7-year-old successfully making the save. The final challenge, Challenge #6: Shoot Off, involved the final two competitors (age 28 and age 7) shooting at targets to cause their opponents to drop into water tanks, with the 7-year-old ultimately winning. The winner, 7-year-old Gunner, chose to give away the $250,000 prize money to other people, including $10,000 from one of the briefcases revealed in the earlier stage. The final stage involved a rope pull where contestants were eliminated based on their age matching the weight (in percentage of body weight) of a mannequin they had to drop.
