Route information
Participants will be placed on a bus, blindfolded and driven to a random location at the discretion of the driver. You will be told the number of miles (as the crow flies) from the race HQ. Racers will be dropped at 2 minute intervals from each other and will have to race back to the HQ.
There is no route - so prepare as best you can, bring shoes that will hold up on any terrain and get ready to cross rivers, canals, moors and marshes on your race back home. You are completely self-sufficient, you should not need anything but your brains and body to bring you back to HQ.
