The Urban Max is part adventure race, part scavenger hunt with a mix of the amazing race. It is a completely new format of racing that will take teams of two through the heart of the host city. Competitors will get to visit some of the cities most famous landmarks, as well as suburban areas, while completing a variety of activities along the way.
This event is for all skill and fitness levels, with a number of the activities needing more brainpower than muscle. Speed alone will not get you over the line first!
Teams will be allowed to use various forms of public transport to cover longer distances. No taxis or any mode of private transport is allowed, including bikes, roller blades, etc. Teams will be disqualified if they are found using prohibited modes of transport.
