The JAFA 2015 Queen’s Birthday Orienteering, Saturday 30 May – Monday 1 June 2015, Auckland New Zealand website is live and entries are open.

This will be a superb weekend of orienteering on some of the best maps in New Zealand.

North West Orienteering Club have had many enquiries from Australia after their advertorial in the Australian Orienteer, and expect many to use this weekend as a chance to experience this terrain as a lead up to the World Masters in 2017.

The weekend’s orienteering events will include:

• Test match between Australia’s Bushrangers and New Zealand’s Pinestars at the senior level (and hopefully also at junior level).
• Trials for the New Zealand Secondary School team to contest the Southern Cross Challenge in September.
• Auckland Orienteering Champs 2015 (Long is Waioneke; Middle is Sunday morning race)

The events  are open for anyone to enter, with 11 courses offered across 41 age group categories.

Expected number of participants is 300+
