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 .

The score course gives you one hour to get as many points as possible, with controls worth from, 10, to 50 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 tracks and  reserves.

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
