Find Your Way Home - Christchurch
Find Your Way Home is scheduled for 18 July 2026 at Halswell Quarry, Kennedys Bush, Christchurch. The event sends teams out from the quarry in an unconventional format that removes standard navigation aids and predefined routes.
Participants arrive at the finish area and board a bus while blindfolded. The bus stops at an undisclosed location, the blindfold is removed, and each team must then find their way back to the starting point. The format specifies no course, no directions, and no GPS; navigation depends on participants' choices and decisions on the ground.
Entries are for teams of two, with a field limit of 100 teams. The distance to reach the finish and return is given as about 21 km or more. The event listing also includes an associated fundraising component for the Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust; at the time of the listing NZ$36.75 had been raised toward a NZ$500 goal.
The presentation emphasizes route uncertainty and self-navigation rather than timed results or a measured course. Practical details such as exact meeting points, safety briefings, and allowed equipment are provided through the event information pages.
