Every week of Term 1, thousands of Auckland students grab a map and race the corridors, courtyards, and fields of a host school campus. No experience needed. Fast thinking beats fast legs, which is exactly why students love it.
The series runs across five zones, building to zone finals and the Sprint Championship.
Proudly supported by John Andrew Ford.
