Join us for an epic city adventure with the Melbourne Gem Race - a free, community-centred event where you can score points and win prizes by discovering hidden gems, supporting local businesses and meeting friendly like-minded adventurers! 🥳

Hey! 👋 We're Bianca (@biancainmelbourne) Cal & Ciara (@beyonderaus), Melbourne-locals who love travelling and trying new experiences together.

We've designed this special amazing-race style challenge across the city where over the course of one or two days, you'll explore the city through a series of locations, tasks, and challenges that lead you to discover our city's hidden gems. Whether you’re racing competitively, teaming up with friends, or flying solo, this event is open to everyone. Go at your own pace, choose your own strategy, and enjoy the journey as much as the destination. From iconic laneways to lesser-known local spots, the Gem Race is all about discovery, curiosity, and seeing Melbourne through a new lens.

What to expect:
🏆 HUGE prize pool up for grabs with prizes from Global Ballooning, Yo-Chi, Adventure Rooms Melbourne, Kayak Melbourne, Little Lon Distilling Co & Sauna Boat Docklands
🏙️ A self-guided race experience across Melbourne
🏃🏽 Hundreds of challenges to choose from to complete
📅 Flexible participation across Sat Feb 28 - Sun Mar 1
👫 A fun, social atmosphere with fellow travellers

Cost: Free 💸
Who can join: Anyone who's up for the challenge!
