What's it all about?
Anything but ordinary. No set course—just checkpoints, a blend of urban jungles & local trails, and the freedom to forge your own 5-7km path.

We'll supply the drinks and some nibbles, plus there will be plenty of prizes and giveaways.
What to bring:
Bring whatever you’d normally wear for a 5km run—comfortable running gear and good shoes. Don’t forget a water bottle; we’ll have a refill station available at the store. If you need to bring a backpack, no worries—we’ll keep it safe in the store while you're out running.
That’s it, we’ll see you Thursday night, May 22nd for the adventure. Bring the energy and some friends or come solo and we'll connect you with some new ones. It’s going to be an awesome time.
FAQs
To begin with you just need to be keen for some fun. Don't worry if you come alone, we encourage people to pair up and make new friends. Then it’s just a matter of coming along to an event and scanning the QR code. Here you'll find the rules of engagement and checkpoints. Next, plan your route. At each checkpoint you need to take a selfie to prove you were there. Once back at the event hub it’s time to celebrate, with drinks, music, prizes and giveaways!
If you define a runner as being someone that likes to move around on two feet, then yes. You can walk it, make it a race, treat it as a jog with friends…it's whatever you want it to be!
It’s free. Yep, that’s right, you get food, drinks, entertainment, event photos and more, all for the princely sum of $0.
It all depends on how you plan your route. Our goal is to make the most direct course to be around 5km, with some events up to 7km.
Not at all. If you have a mobile phone with Apple or Google Maps, then you can follow that. We’re also there at event registration to help you plan your journey. We will make the courses fun, accessible and relatively simple to move around. All you have to do is obey all the normal rules that apply to pedestrians.
Yes. We will have a place for bags to be left and someone will be at the event hub at all times. However, we do not take responsibility for lost or stolen items.
Nothing, other than it will make you ineligible for prizes. You can still eat, drink, be merry and enjoy the festivities.
When all the participants are back at the event hub we will conduct an awards ceremony, which includes prizes for winners, random finishing places (It could even be last across the line) and one for the best checkpoint selfie! You can relax, have a drink and enjoy the camaraderie, plus checkout the free event photos - which will be made available as soon as possible afterwards.
Events are held regularly, so visit our calendar to find a Guerrilla Run near you.
