The final round of Organic Adventure's Urban Night Series takes place in Halifax, with a 60 minute orienteering challenge starting and finishing at Dukes in the town centre. The event features a fresh street map and more than 20 checkpoints, with participants collecting points as they navigate through the town after dark.
Runners choose their own routes through Halifax's streets, paths and ginnels, deciding which checkpoints to visit and in what order. Higher value checkpoints are generally further away, rewarding careful route planning alongside running speed and navigation skills. The iOrienteering smartphone app records checkpoints automatically, with a 60 minute limit and penalties for returning late.
The event has no fixed race distance, allowing participants to cover as much ground as they choose within the time limit. Individual start times provide flexibility, while GPS trackers enable live location monitoring throughout the challenge. As the concluding round of the series, it provides a final opportunity to improve overall standings, with results determined by points collected rather than distance or finishing time.
