Courses

There are two course options available, a 60 minute score and a "lemon" course.

The lemon course is part way between white and yellow, for those new to orienteering. The lemon course is mostly away from roads, but does go on footpaths along the roads near the zoo.

The score course gives you one hour to get as many points as possible, with controls worth, 10, 20, or 30 points. You can make this as adventurous and as hilly as you would like! There will be a 10 point per minute (or part minute) late. Fast runners may be able to clear the course, in which case first back wins.

The score event has options that are on track and a few controls that are much more in the bush of the reserve.

Start times

• Mass Start from 11.00am
• Random individual starts up until 12 noon
• Courses close at 1 pm, and control collection commences at 1.05 pm

Transport

• The 1, 23, and 29 bus services come reasonably close to the event centre.
• Active transport is encouraged - walking, cycling, scootering ...
• There is a reasonable amount of parking.

Hazards

• The score event has the option of crossing a road. Do so with care. Use of the zebra crossing by the zoo is preferred.
• All of the local tracks will be slippery due to wet winter conditions, take particular care on descent
• Tracks are rough, uneven, rooty, and can be very slippery after raink
• Off track areas can be slippery, uneven, rocky, and some reentrants have collected a bit of rubbish.
• The vegetation mapping has been partially updated, and is somewhat accurate in parts.
