Event Location
Carters Building Supplies carpark (they don’t open on Sundays). That’s behind Petone’s Pak N Save, but the best approach is from Annie Huggan Grove which is off Te Puni St. From Wellington peel off SH2 at the Petone off-ramp, head along the Esplanade and look on your left for Te Puni. From up the valley you’re best to find Te Puni from Jackson St at the Kathmandu corner. Public transport - Metlink buses traverse Jackson St frequently; and Petone rail station is at the western end of Jackson St.

Event Information

Mini adventure race, consisting of urban rogaining and sprint orienteering on schoolgrounds. This "chapter" is in Petone.

Ultra short (done by lunchtime) suitable teamwork practice, nav training (yellow level). 2hr rogaine during which you may choose to do up to 6 micro-sprint courses 600-1200m in parks and schools. Event as a whole is for teams of 2-4, experienced individuals welcome too. Experimental event, see website below for OHV's innovation philosophy, and maps from the Sprint AR Chapter One.

Print your own maps from the links below. We suggest you use the "best" setting on your printer. Rogaine timing/scoring by MapRun app. Sprint timing at selected controls by Sport Ident, one chip per team ($2 to hire). Laid back organisation. No entry fee.

Flexibility. You can do the rogaine without the sprint sections if you wish - or do the 6 sprint sections without the rogaine. They are all accessible by car. We'll have a method of combining your rogaine score and your sprint times. But the bottom line is - this is a laid-back, low-key team event. Have fun.

Now the nitty gritty. One map covers the rogaine. Three maps cover the sprints, the first, the second and the third. The rogaine has been loaded onto MapRun as "SprintAR6 Rogaine" - best to download it while you are in wi-fi coverage. We recommend the latest version MapRun6 although earlier versions should be fine, and there's also a MapRunG for Garmin watches. You may wish to read our MapRun Guide.
