Event Format

We are going to blow your mind with the adventure you can have in the heart of Melbourne.  Teams of three will run, ride, kayak, climb, abseil, and so much more over two days on the weekend of November 22 and 23.

The format will be the original Weekender Program – a Saturday and Sunday mix, incorporating the Mean Streets Prologue, and the Rat Race Adventure.

Mean Streets Prologue
Saturday night only (5-8pm) – quick, exhilarating and extremely entertaining.  Foot based event, where teams collect as many zany checkpoints as they can in 3 hours, door to door.  Any ability.  Bring a pair of runners and a sense of humour.

Rat Race Adventure
Saturday night and all day Sunday.  You do the Mean Streets Prologue, and then on Sunday embark on an adventure city-wide, that will take you at least 70km all over Melbourne – by bike, boat, foot and rope!

The winning team must compete in both events – a combination of points and time will determine the winner, and it better not be those Poms!
