NEW Pre-register here and let us know you if you might attend. This is completely optional but will help to give us an idea how many maps to print out. You will still register by filling out a form at the event as usual.
This is a "point to point" timed event where you go to the controls in the specified order. You will have three courses of increasing length and degree of difficulty to choose from. (Novice, Intermediate and advanced). You are most welcome to enter with a partner or as a family group. However, If you have been to some events, and would like to test your skills or are a bit competitive, we encourage you to try a course on your own, or 'shadow' a younger orienteer.
Maps will be provided. A compass is recommended, no other special equipment is required. Hiking boots or running shoes and hiking/running attire are suitable. We recommend you bring a water bottle especially if the weather is warm. Printed instructions and an instructor will be available to assist you before you start a course. Walk or run. You may orienteer as an individual, with a partner, or go as a group or family.
