St Kilda Scramble 6-hour Metrogaine
Expired
Walk Description
Distance: 15 – 20km
Join us for this iconic 6-hour foot Metrogaine starting in St Kilda and taking in the surrounding suburbs of the beautiful and historic Port Phillip council. The event takes in the stunning bay coastline and explores some of the amazing parkland and artwork from South Yarra all the way down to Brighton and taking in Albert Park, Elwood, Ripponlea and of course the ever interesting St Kilda.
How a Metrogaine works:
The course uses question and multiple-choice answer checkpoints. The questions are intended to confirm your visit to the checkpoint and not test your IQ. Checkpoints are set on points of interest as much as possible. Find the location on the map then find the answer to the question matching a multiple-choice answer. Then mark off A, B, C or D on your answer sheet.
This metrogaine is run by the Victorian Rogaining Association; adult entry fee is $25. You can walk, run, or use public transport around the course, but there is no cycling or the use of scooters.
Start: 5 Waves in 15 minute intervals from 9:00am to 10:00am
