Über die Veranstaltung
A stripped-back navigation challenge where uncertainty is deliberate and every decision matters. This is not a race with a route — there are no markers, no directions, and no reassurance. You will be taken to an unknown location and must find your own way back to the event centre.
Verpflegung & Versorgung
Hot drinks and snacks, beer & coffee may be available at some events, either in the venues or next door — bring cash to refuel. They will NOT be free!
Pacer
Pacemaker / Pacer information: during the event, designated pacers will run with participants in each start wave to help maintain target times. On Race Day, please check the specific target times displayed at the start area and follow your assigned wave. Pacers will wear identifiable flags for easy recognition — follow their guidance for a safe and supported navigation experience.

Was im Startgeld enthalten ist
- Accuracy: The GPS trackers are accurate within 5 metres but can be affected by tall buildings and black spots. There may also be a slight delay between your actual location and what appears on the map. You might notice your position "catching up" after a gap.
- Placement Matters: For the best performance, place the tracker in an outside pocket with a clear view of the sky. Poor placement can weaken the signal, resulting in less reliable tracking – this applies to all GPS systems.

Rather than check everyone's kit which as you can imagine would take way too long at registration, we perform random spot checks. A member of our team will pick on three or four people during registration and on the way to the days transport, they will be asked to show just two items from the mandatory kit list, these items will be different for each person asked. All those taking a podium position will be required to show every item on the kit mandatory kit list.<\/p>\r\n="}},{"@type=":"Question=","name=":"Can I use other means of transport during the event?
