COURSE PLANNER'S NOTES:

Whether you’re a seasoned orienteer or just keen to give it a go, there’s a course for you:

• Very Easy – perfect for beginners, kids and families, 0.9km • Easy – a gentle introduction with simple navigation, 1.3km • Moderate 1 (2.8km) & Moderate 2 (2km) – step up the challenge, including the maze feature

Set in the open parkland and lakeside surrounds of John Knight Park, this sprint-format event is all about speed and precision. Courses are shorter, controls come quickly, and every route choice counts.
