-National Race-
You will qualify through your State Baptist Convention’s Royal Ambassador
Race system to enter this race. A maximum of six boys in grades 1-6 will qualify
from each convention. This is the ultimate RA Racecar race.
The minimum entry offering for World Hunger is $100 for the National Race. It is recommended that RAs find ways to earn their offering for World Hunger. It would be a great example of “Working with others in sharing Christ”. Participants must present this offering at the weigh in for the race. Any offerings made to World Hunger for church, associational, or state races may accumulate for the total at the National Race. Once participants qualify through their state convention race event, other members of their RA group may help them.

Each state convention will be permitted up to six entrants from grades 1-6.
Lads will race against Lads and Crusaders will race Crusaders.
