"The compulsory parts are relatively simple to follow and are not too arduous," he said.
"Whether you take on stage three is up to the racer. It's offers bonus points and will be fun and challenging for advanced teams, while giving beginner teams a chance to test their mettle."
While not the greatest spectator sport, people are welcome to come along.
The location, according to Ewenson, will be released closer to the date of the event.
"We don't give away the exact details until a few days before the event as we don't want people doing reconnaissance of the course as navigation is an important facet of the event," he said.
"It's definitely more of a participation event, but people can feel free to come to try to catch the action."
Early indications for a high number of competitors are good.
Ewenson said the number of entries spike closer to the day.
He also said they had been looking to improve the experience for those competing. "We will be running a navigation seminar in October to help people learn, which has gained lots of interest," Ewenson said.
"Last year a lot of competitors got lost using maps and compasses. People enjoyed the challenge but they want to get better at it."
