AR.co.za’s 13th birthday Metrogaine

Next month www.AR.co.za turns 13! Yes, that’s 13 years of news, articles, event listings and race reports.

To celebrate www.AR.co.za’s birthday is our customary Metrogaine Jo’burg event.

The date is Monday, 14 April 2014 and venue is the Zoo Lake Sports Club.

You’ll find full event information (times, venue address etc) here (www.ar.co.za/metrogaine-joburg) as well as a description of how these events work.

In short, this is an urban, night-time event where you run with a friend (pair teams) and try to find as many checkpoints in the 90-minutes available. You can run, walk, jog, crawl… And if you want to come back to the finish before your time is up, that’s cool. Just don’t be late because you lose hard-earned points for every minute after 90-minutes!

Map provided is a modified street map – no street names!

Metrogaines are excellent fun and you don’t need to have any experience to get yourself around at least a couple of checkpoints. This is one of those things where you definitely get better with practice.

Early-bird entry of R110/pair is valid until 18h00 on Tuesday, 8 April 2014; thereafter entry fee is R140/pair (until entry deadline on 13 April). Your entry fee includes: your map and clue sheet, finish treat and post-run refreshment (hot or cold).
