Choose Your Challenge:

Choose from a 10-mile or 6-mile trek. Your mission? Navigate back to the event centre from an undisclosed drop-off point – no tools, no shortcuts, just your instincts.

Sound easy. Tell me more!
  • Upon arrival; You will be asked to put all electronic devices, watches, and navigation aids such as watch in to a sealed emergency bag (you get to keep these with you but if the seal is broken 60 minutes will be added to your time)
  • Then what? Board a bus, don a blindfold (or blackout goggles if needed), and get dropped at a secret location.
  • The Race: Find your way back to the event start – no map, no compass, no GPS, using the power of your feet alone.
OK, maybe not as easy as I thought, but sounds fun! What do I get?

An enjoyable day out, a fantastic sense of achievement and a lovely medal to boot!

Rules:
  1. No GPS or maps: You may only use maps we provide – if any.
  2. No shortcuts: The journey must be completed on foot.
  3. Emergency bag integrity: Breaking the seal will result in adding 60 minutes to your finish time
Important Notes:
  • Distances are measured "as the crow flies," but your actual route will likely be longer.
  • You may record your progress, but devices must remain sealed in the emergency bag during the challenge.
  • Teams must be a minimum of 2, maximum of 6 (for safety reasons no sole runners / walkers)
  • You have a maximum of 4 hours to complete the challenge
Embrace the challenge – this is all about you, your determination, and your sense of direction!
