Scatter Run Series 2019 - Event 2

WHAT IS SCATTER RUN?

Scatter Run is an awesome Treasure Hunt-style event that combines racing for points and the joy of exploring areas in a new unique way.

HOW TO COMPETE

You have to find checkpoints using the map and other information we give you. Each checkpoint has a points value. The more you find, the more points you get.

HOW TO WIN

Run as fast as you can, plan your route so you collect as many points as possible within your chosen run time. You lose points for every minute that you arrive back late. The winner is the runner with the most points!

STAY FOR THE VIBE

Everyone will have different routes. The fun continues when your run ends whilst you compare your route to your friends over a coffee in our finish arena!
Navigation is part of the challenge. If you’ve never read a map before, we’ll help you get going. The checkpoints will mostly be on the paths and obvious locations. The great thing is that you make it as hard as you like. Stick to an easy route on the paths, or take the tiger lines and challenge your navigational skills!
​Choose your running time best suited to you: 45 min, 90 min or 150 min. You can run as far you like in that time. If you’re up for less distance, that’s fine – get as many points as you can!
