Division X - Inward Bound

Inward Bound – not just for ANU students!

Do you want to relive your college glory days? Are you an avid rogainer, orienteer, or runner on the hunt for a new adventure? Do you think you know your way around a map and compass? Division X is the thing for you!

This year, we hope to offer two Division X courses: a high drop of approximately 70-90 km, and a low drop of approximately 45-75 km.

Please note that there will not be an exclusive Division X drop site this year, and you will be dropped with competing residential hall teams. The Race Directors will place your team in the most suitable Division based on navigational ability and also to accommodate logistical factors.

There MAY be limited spaces for Division X due to a large number of EOIs. We recommend you get in your entries early, so we are able to confirm and accommodate your entry. We will work to accommodate all teams, but this may not be possible, so first entries will take priority. Once successfully signed up, you will be notified of your entry details, and if successful will be generated an invoice to pay to secure your team entry. Check back here later in the year for a sign up link!

Drop the scouts!?

Division X is open to teams of 2-4 participants, making it easier than ever to participate in Inward Bound.
If you haven’t got a team together, no stress! Individuals are welcome to register their interest to be placed in a team.
