Quizrun — Run & Think

Quizrun is a running event with lateral-thinking puzzles — logic riddles you solve by reasoning, not trivia. You run or walk a course of about 5 kilometres and solve puzzles at checkpoints along the way. Correct answers cut your finish time, so a sharp thinker can beat a faster runner. No facts to memorise — you crack each question with your team. It runs as community events in 50+ cities across 10+ countries, with 400+ participants to date.

How it works

  1. Register for an event near you — solo or with a team.
  2. Run, jog, or walk the ~5 km course at your own pace.
  3. Solve a lateral-thinking puzzle at each checkpoint.
  4. Every correct answer subtracts time from your finish.
  5. The best combined result — speed and thinking — wins.
