Suburban Adventure Racing

Suburban Adventure Racing will be back!

A new series will commence in October 2026. The series will be run by 1st Heatherdale Scout Group.

What is Adventure Racing

Suburban Adventure Racing is a fun, inclusive navigation sport inspired by rogaining. Using a map, participants search for checkpoints hidden around suburban streets and parklands, aiming to collect as many as possible within 60 minutes.

It’s suitable for all ages and fitness levels – you can walk, jog, or run at your own pace, enter solo or as a team, and even bring along prams or the family dog.

Events use RFID finger scanners for quick results, and our friendly volunteers are always on hand to explain the rules and offer tips for first-timers.
