Runners and Riders

Treasure Hunt

The perfect opportunity for those not interested in racing who would like to get involved in MYC Regatta.

The treasure hunt will be run on Saturday afternoon. Participants will enjoy exploring the river above the forts looking for clues, answering questions, gathering items and undertaking tasks. This really is an event for all and there will be extra points for such things as having three generations on board during the hunt.

You will be back in time to enjoy the Regatta party.
