Metrogaining is a sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. We often have parents with tots in strollers, Young-uns in backpacks, juniors walking with their parents, teenagers teaming together as well as senior citizens and gun athletes. Our oldest competitor is 86.

Metrogaines are conducted on foot or mountain bike in suburban areas or regional towns. Teams of 2 to 5 people are given a map with checkpoints marked on it and a cluesheet and have one hour [ some events are up to 3 hours duration] to walk/jog/run to as many checkpoints as possible. The catch is that the map has no street names or identifying words to guide teams. Teams use basic navigation skills to locate checkpoints using the clues provided. No compass skills are needed or used.

After one hour teams who have not returned to HQ are penalised for each minute late. Cold drinks and jubes are provided at event conclusion. Results are emailed during the week following the event.

Results can be found on the Results page.
