Increased ONZ Focus on Sprint Orienteering
By Christo Peters - 30 Sep 2021 - News Item

Quite apart from the fact that no New Zealand based orienteers have had the chance for any international representation for the last 2 years, the Covid-induced pause has also brought more starkly into focus the split of the World Championships (WOC) into separate sprint and forest events in alternate years. As a result, ONZ has been […]

High Performance News #75 – March 2021
By Malcolm Ingham - 31 Mar 2021 - News Item

With the loss of Riverhead Weekend to an Auckland lockdown, like January and February, March has come and gone without a real start to the national orienteering scene and we are left looking towards the ONZ Champs at Easter.

By Malcolm Ingham - 30 Jan 2019 - News Item
