About this race
Off-road navigation is key: the Canterbury Adventure Race is a team rogaine where participants find controls instead of following marked routes. It offers a practical adventure-racing format, with teams of two, three, or four deciding their pace and the level of navigation they wish to undertake.
Expect a combination of off-road jogging or walking and mountain biking on forestry roads or singletrack. Longer race options include 4WD trails and singletrack. Families and beginners have a straightforward entry option, while fitter teams require navigational competency and can approach it as a serious control hunt if racing intensely.
