Participants in teams of 2-4, which can be all-male, all-female, mixed, or family-based, engage in a variety of disciplines including trekking, mountain biking, and navigation. The course also introduces mystery activities, adding an element of unpredictability and fun.
The terrain is diverse, incorporating light bushland, local farmland, public walkways, and urban areas, making it accessible yet challenging for participants of all skill levels. This setup not only tests physical endurance and teamwork but also strategic planning in navigation and activity transitions.
