INTER-UNI PUBGAINE 2025

Friday March 7th BEFORE 6:20pm!

Camperdown Memorial Rest Park

Race start is at Camperdown Memorial Rest park @ 6:30pm. Rego by 6:20pm.

Come one, come all, Are you ready for a good time?

Organised by UTSOAC and in collaboration with SURMC and UNSW Bouldersoc, We present to you… PUBGAINE!

For those of you who don’t know what we’re on about, a PUBGAINE is a combination of ‘Pub-crawl’ and ‘Rogaine’. In the former, bevies are had. In the latter teams of 3-5 race around to collect Control Points with the aid of a map and compass. Combining these activities makes for a really good time!

The rules are simple. Each team is given a list of pubs and a map. Each pub is worth a designated number of points based roughly on the difficulty of reaching it. You are allowed to move by foot, or on public transport, but no cars, taxi’s, Uber’s, bicycles, skateboards, rollerblades, pogo sticks. Unicycles are permitted. The team must remain together at all times, splitting up to get to more pubs is a big no.
