Incorporating the Wayne Cretney Memorial

The ultimate urban adventure where the mind wars with the body, where the physical competes with the mental and where there is plenty of soul. This year promises to be a cracker Winter Classic.

The Winter Classic is an endurance event that is both physically and mentally demanding. The event is a BLODSLITET type navigation event; a relay where you do all relay loops yourself. There are several trophies for the various solo grades, including the handsome Wayne Cretney Memorial cup.

And if you want a team challenge you can try the Three hour Challenge - for teams of two to five. You can visit the checkpoints in any order, rogaine style, and you have three hours to find as many as possible. There are also categories for schools teams, in both the Winter Classic and the Three hour Challenge.
