Find Your Way Home

This running adventure challenge presents a distinctive experience where teams of two are blindfolded and transported by bus to an undisclosed location within Christchurch. Upon arrival, teams must navigate their way to the finish line at Halswell Quarry without any pre-defined route or navigational aids.

The event features a spontaneous element, as buses depart 15 minutes apart, adding to the uncertainty of race positioning. Participants can expect to cover an estimated distance between 22.5km and 30km, as the actual course requires them to rely on basic awareness and teamwork rather than a marked path or digital devices.

Throughout the challenge, teams must maintain close proximity, staying no more than 10 metres apart, and must complete the course together. This format encourages collaboration and strategic thinking as they make their way through the urban landscape.

The atmosphere is infused with community spirit, as participants engage with each other while navigating the city, fostering a sense of camaraderie among runners. Further details about the rules and logistics of the event can be found on the event’s official website.
