Urban Orienteering with Stadium Runners

This special Urban Orienteering event involves teams of two visiting as many checkpoints around Huddersfield Town Centre as they can within a 1 hour period. Navigational skills are not essential, although some local knowledge and/or the basic ability to read a map would be helpful.

Starting at the Leisure Centre teams of two runners will be provided with a map marked with 15 checkpoints and a list of questions relating to those locations. Your mission is to visit as many of the checkpoints as you can, correctly answering the relevant questions as you go. You must then return to the Stadium within the 1 hour time limit.

Some answers are worth more points than others, so it makes sense to plan your route carefully. Pairs do not need to visit all the checkpoints, just as many as they can within the time limit.

A good sense of direction, sensible pacing and making good decisions under pressure are just as important as swift legs. Don't be late back, or you will start to lose your hard-earned points!

Each team will be need to carry at least one mobile phone, please also bring a pen to note your answers down. Additionally you may find a watch useful.

Maps showing the locations to visit will be distributed on the night via a WhatsApp group created for the event, so you will be navigating from your phones.

You can select your own pairings beforehand or join up with someone on the night.

Should you have any questions about the way the event works please post below.
