1. FREE LEAD-UP EVENTS
Be sure to check out and get involved in the free lead-up events:
-
-
- Ride to School Week 1
- Ride to School Week 2
- Colour Run
-
Registrations essential!
2. REGISTER YOUR TEAM
Grab your friends, family, or colleagues and form a team of 2–5 people. Teams can include a mix of adults and children - just make sure you register in the correct category!
Changes can be made to teams prior to the event commencing.
3. PLAN YOUR COSTUME
Decide on a team outfit — points will be awarded to the best-dressed team before the race starts, so get creative!
Thinking of a mascot? Great idea - you’ll earn bonus points for including a team mascot.
4. CHECK IN ON THE DAY
Arrive early (from 7:30 am) at the Showgrounds to check in your team. Only one team member needs to check in and collect your challenge sheet and app login details.
A briefing outlining the rules will start at 8:30 am and will include the best-dressed team competition.
5. COLLECT YOUR MAP
Teams must remain in the start area until the starting gun sounds. Maps will be distributed 10 minutes beforehand, giving you time to plan your route.
Be prepared - many street names will be missing, so make sure your map-reading skills are up to date.
6. SEEK OUT POINTS
You have 4 hours to collect as many points as you can. Points can be collected by finding answers to clues or completing fun challenges. There will be some bonus points along the way.
You can attend clues and challenges in any order you like.
7. RETURN ON TIME
Return to the finish area within 4 hours of the starting gun. Points will be deducted for every minute you’re late, so make sure you return on time and ‘scan in’ to record your finish time.
If two teams finish with the same number of points, the team that returned first will be declared the winner.
8. RELAX & ENJOY
Following the completion of the event, stick around to enjoy live music, food trucks, and operating bar and much more.
Make an afternoon of it with your team - there will be something for everyone!
