How it Works

District and the Leukaemia Foundation are partnering together for a major fundraiser to help give back to the more than 110,000 Australians of all ages who are living with the devastating effects of blood cancer. $8 of every ticket purchased goes towards the amazing work that the Leukaemia Foundation is doing in supporting people living with blood cancer.

Buying a ticket gets you unlimited access to explore with District from now until August 2nd. Get on the leaderboard by taking part in any of the seven Challenges in your city. Each challenge has a number of checkpoints to collect, including Discovery quiz questions, Time Trial sprints, and Hidden checkpoints.

Start at any checkpoint, and try to collect as many as you can before the 60-minute time limit expires. Complete each challenge at your own pace, at any time of the day, and complete them over and over as many times as you would like.

There will be amazing prizes for the top scorers overall. Plus, get entered to the lucky draw when you score 1,000+ points on any challenge for a chance to win a prize. Push your limits and know that every step is helping to give back to those in need.

Help Us Give Back

Bonnie Baczynski will never forget the day she was told her 4-year-old daughter, Arianna (pictured) had leukaemia. Two days later, they were on the Medi-Flight from regional Queensland down to Brisbane so Ari could begin treatment as soon as possible. The Baczynski family was finally able to return home just days before Christmas after nine months of treatment while taking sanctuary at the Leukaemia Foundation village.

By purchasing a ticket, you play a vital role in helping to beat blood cancers and make sure families facing blood cancer have a place to call home during treatment, someone to turn to, and access to the best possible care and treatment. More than 110,000 Australian men, women and children are living with the devastating impact of blood cancer and today it’s one of the biggest causes of cancer death. The Leukaemia Foundation stands with Australia to help cure and conquer every blood cancer – with care.

What are the different checkpoint types?

Each race route will have a 60-minute timer. Along the way you will have 3 different types of checkpoints:

  • Green (Checkpoint): Run through the location to collect points
  • Blue (Discovery Quiz Question): Use your surroundings to find the clue and select the correct answer. You may also see a few bodyweight exercises on these Run Challenges, with activities such as star jumps.
  • Pink (Time Trial): Sprint from Start to Finish as fast as possible. The quicker you are, the more points you get.
  • Light Blue (Hidden): These will become visible on the map when collecting a checkpoint in a different area. Get there within the time limit to collect points.
Is this an individual event or with teams?

This is an invidivual event, however District is the most fun when doing so in small groups of friends. If permitted in your state, you can use "Challenge mode" to run together and compete head-to-head on the map.

What are the prizes? And how can I win?

Top 3 males and top 3 female on the overall Mission leaderboard (6 pax total) will win a prize. Only your best score from each Run Challenge will contribute to the overall Mission leaderboard.
