Orienteering is competitive or non-competitive recreational hiking or running activity in which participants use a map and compass (compass is not compulsory!) to navigate between checkpoints along an unfamiliar route. For more information visit www.orienteering.co.za 

This is a "Rogaine" style fun "Scatter Run" event aimed at newcomers and family groups.

Scatter Run is going urban for a fun event to start the year!

How far can you run in an allotted time?

Choose your own adventure and get as many points as you can!

A Scatter Run, or "Rogaine" type orienteering event is where individuals or teams visit as many checkpoints as you can in your allotted time. This is a time limited event, and you chose your time limit when you enter. 

The courses or time limits for entries are: 

The 150 min course (can be entered Solo or as a Team)

The 90 min course (can be entered Solo or as a Team)

The 60 min course (can be entered Solo or as a Team)

As an example: If you enter the 150 min event, you will have 150 mins (or 2,5 hrs) to collect as many checkpoints as possible within that allocated time, and still get back to the finish before the time expires. Points are deducted per minute over the allocated time! Its all about planning and strategy to collect as many as possible, and still get back before your time is up. 

As this is an Urban event, most of the area will be on public roads, but there are options to run through various parks and sections of rocky veld on the slopes of Northcliff. 

Toilets are available at the Scout Hall start/finish area.

There will be no closed roads and no water out on course. Please arrange to carry your own for the duration of the event.

To collect checkpoints, you will need to mark codes on a sheet. Bring a Pen

Final instructions will be sent out to all entered participants on Friday 30th January.
