Strap on your running shoes, because 21Degrees South Multisport Association is about to blaze a trail through the Mackay region! Get ready to sprint into action with orienteering, conquer thrilling adventure races, and navigate the exhilarating world of MapRuns.
Increasing inclusion in real life skills is important, with offerings of navigating and team building skills, the association encourages competition and trying out something new.
21DSMA has hosted a number of different events including orienteering short courses, regular MapRuns as well as assisting at major events like Zach Mach adventure race and Kids Triathlon events.
If you’re looking for some light exercise and a family-friendly day out, consider joining MapRun. The events last 40 minutes and caters to all physical abilities - set your own pace, with full instructions provided.
21DSMA representative Kirsty Mawer explains, “Think of [the event] like Pokémon hunting; navigate the streets to collect points. Only thing is, the map you are given doesn’t have street names, so you need to pay attention.”
These MapRun events are ideal for getting outdoors, meeting new people and gaining new skills.
Kirsty states, “The feedback we get from our newcomers is how much fun they had, despite being a little nervous.
“It is great to hear the excitement of participants when they finish, having found all the checkpoints.”
You can join the fun this Saturday, with MapRun taking place at Quota Park, Binnington Esplanade at 3:00 PM.
With community support, the association looks forward to bringing more exciting multisport activities to the Mackay region.
Come along and join the fun! To find out more information or keep up with events, visit: facebook.com/21degreessouth.
