Find Your Way Home - Christchurch

Find Your Way Home is an orienteering-style event scheduled for 18 July 2026 and based at Halswell Quarry, Kennedys Bush, Christchurch, New Zealand. Teams of two take part, with the field limited to 100 teams. Participants board a bus at the event site while blindfolded and are dropped at an unknown location in Christchurch. Once the blindfold is removed they must navigate back toward the finish using their own choices and route-finding; there is no set course, no directions provided, and no GPS assistance.

The approximate distance involved is about 21 km or more, though the exact route and distance depend on where teams are dropped and the routes they choose. The format emphasizes decision making and navigation rather than a marked or measured race course.

The event lists a fundraising association with the Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust and records a fundraising total and target. Entry is arranged by team. Event information pages note logistics such as race packs, categories, and a timetable, and results are recorded for the event. Facilities and specific support services at the finish or along routes are not detailed in the provided information. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
