Brisbane Urban Max - Result, photos and TV coverage
Salsa dancing, Lazer games, croquet and blind cycling were just some of the challenges that faced the 170 teams in the fifth edition of the
Brisbane Urban Max. Setting off from Roma Street Parklands, the majority of teams headed off to West End to locate the Nutrient Water team at
Davies Park - with limited opening hours and only one other checkpoint in close proximity, this seemed like the logical choice first up.
After the action at West End, teams seemed to split up from here with the popular route choices being:
- collect the pursuit checkpoint at Southbank and access a ferry to Heath and New Farm park for the kayaking and croquet checkpoints or;
- head back into the city to collect the four checkpoints in the CBD followed by a ferry trip out to the eastern checkpoints.
Putting further pressure on the team's route choice, the mystery checkpoint for the day was only revealed at 10am on the Max Adventure Facebook
page - "Merthyr Croquet Club". For some lucky teams, this proved to be perfect timing as they just stepped off the ferry at New Farm Park to collect
the "Sandakan" pursuit checkpoint. With only a short stroll to the Merthyr Croquet Club and a quick jaunt around the greens, two checkpoints were
bagged in short succession.
As teams headed back to the finish, there was two activity checkpoints remaining to the North of Roma Street Parkland. This included a blindfolded
cycle challenge around an obstacle course that proved the undoing of a number of teams. The cryptic clue provided for this checkpoint was also particularly
challenging as a number of social teams decided to skip this checkpoint.
After nearly three hours of racing, the first team's made an appearance at the finish line clocking up some incredibly fast times. In the social
category it was team "Volume Control" - Jarrod Anderson and Christopher Stade taking line honours in a time of 2h54:57. They were closely followed
by Greg Essex and Kate Churcher in 2h55:49. In the racing category the spoils went to Sarah Bass and Justin Smart racing as team "Juggernaut" -
they collected all 14 checkpoints in a very impressive time of 3h44:43.
