Your First Pathfinders Trial
A short, phone-friendly checklist for your first event. Event-specific instructions always take priority, so check the event page before you leave home.
Read the Event Page
Check the venue, arrival details, camping, parking, fire restrictions, weather notes, briefing information and any property-specific instructions.
Find your event →Pack the Basics
Bring your helmet, boots, gloves and riding gear, plus fuel or charging equipment, water, food, basic tools, spares and anything specifically requested for the event.
When You Arrive
Follow event signs and property directions, complete sign-on and event-day checks, then find out where the riders briefing and first section will be.
Briefing & Riding
Attend the riders briefing, walk sections before riding, follow the markers for your class and listen to observers and officials. Ask if you are unsure.
Before You Leave
Take your gear and rubbish with you. If you can, stay for a short time to help collect section markers or pack equipment away.
Still Unsure?
Ask Before the Event
Nobody expects a first-time rider to know every detail. Contact the club before the event if you are unsure about your class, licence, equipment or the entry process.
