About the race
Hazeldean Valley Scatter Run is an orienteering Rogaine style event held on the Hazeldean Valley Trails in Pretoria East, Gauteng, South Africa. Participants navigate with a map and may use a compass to visit as many checkpoints as they can within a chosen time limit. Entries may be solo or in teams of two to four.
Event categories and time limits:
- 60 minute event - approximately 5 km.
- 90 minute event - approximately 8 km.
- 150 minute event - approximately 15 km.
Course strategy and rules are time based: competitors collect checkpoints for points and must return before their allotted time ends; points are deducted for minutes over the time limit. The terrain includes mostly open areas, some thicker undergrowth and wooded sections with a network of roads, tracks and paths. Navigation difficulty is generally moderate to tricky in places and a compass is recommended.
The event uses the SPORTident electronic timing system and SI chip hire is included in the entry fee. Toilets are available near the parking, start and finish area. Refreshments will be on sale at the Hazeldean Brewery. There will be limited water on the course so participants should arrange to carry sufficient water for their chosen time limit.
Area is used by permission of Hazeldean Valley Trails. Final instructions are distributed to entered participants before the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
