- Long – complex, back-and-forth route thru the maze – ~1.5km – 14 controls
- For fun – see how fast you can see the eight numbered pumpkins located at the creepy, scary displays hidden in the maze.
- If you want more – do your course again in reverse order or try the other course if we have extra maps!
This is intended to be a fun event – with focus on the family/kids.
