A series of Map Mates junior coaching sessions will be held at each of the first ten events.

Course lengths will be published on the respective event information pages in the week prior to each event.

Season Pass holders may change their course/class selection prior to any event in the series. To do so:

  1. Login to Eventor and visit the season pass page, then:
  2. Click ‘Change entry’.
  3. Select your new course/class from the drop-down list.
  4. Follow the prompts to confirm the changes.

Course/class changes must be completed by 5pm on the Tuesday before each event.

Contactless Punching

Contactless punching, commonly known as SI Air, will be available at all events. To take advantage of contactless punching you must use a SPORTident ActiveCard (SIAC stick). The use of a SIAC stick is recommended for all competitors, however it is not compulsory.

Conventional SI sticks can still be used, in the normal fashion with direct punching.

More information on SI Air is available here.

There will be no registration at the event, nor do you need to check-in at the computer before your run. Instead, proceed straight to the start, there you will clear, check, and collect your map.

Remember to download at the computer once you have finished.

Participants should also note the other rules outlined in the OACT Return to Play Plan. These include maintaining physical distancing of 1.5m to other people, including at the assembly area, when approaching controls on course, and when queuing at the start and computer download.

Live Results

Live results will be available online at each event.

Live results can be viewed either directly in a browser here, or more elegantly via the free LiveOL app, available for iOS and Android.

Frequently Asked Questions

I forgot to pre-enter today’s event, can I just turn up and enter on the day?

NO. You will not be permitted to enter or start unless you have pre-entered the season pass or individual event. Make sure that you set a reminder to pre-enter in time for next week’s event.
There is an exception for newcomers – if you have not orienteered previously then you may turn up and enter on the day at the event.

Individual event entrants may rent an SI by adding the SI hire service when completing their Eventor entry. The cost is $5 per event.

Season pass registrants must have their own SI stick, please email the OACT office to arrange purchase. The cost is $50 for members.

I do not have a SIAC stick, can I still participate?
