**How the challenge will work**

1. All runners must be part of a team. When entering, your team name can either be picked from the drop down list or if it is the first member of a team entering, they will need to add the name for others to choose.

2. A list of landmarks and a map will be provided to entrants 1 week before the event via email. 

3. Teams must have a minimum of 2 runners. There is no limit on the number of runners in your team. 

4. Each team must run to the landmarks & navigate their own route. There is no official marked route and teams must find the checkpoints on their own. The landmarks can be visited in any order. 

5. Teams must take a team photo at each of the landmarks to prove they’ve visited.
The aim is to visit all of the landmarks in the shortest time possible. 

6. Prizes for first all male & first all female winning teams.
