Nathaniel “Big Easy” Lofton and Herbert “Flight Time” Lang are participating in their third installment of the TV reality show “The Amazing Race.” Pairs of racers take on other teams, traveling tens of thousands of miles to the far corners of the globe. They solve problems and puzzles, run rapids and walk dirt roads, negotiate obscure languages and try to cross finish lines ahead of other teams.

The Globetrotters, who play a double headers in metro Atlanta March 15 (an afternoon game at Philips Arena and an evening game at the Arena at Gwinnett Center), travel the world extensively every year.  Read more about them at myajc.com.
