3 Courses.  White (Very Easy) 1.1 km, Yellow (Easy) 1.5 km and Orange (A little more challenging and longer) 3.3 km. The Orange course has a map flip to make it even more exciting.

Starts from 11 am. Last Start 1pm. Course closure 1.45pm.

At 12.45 there will be a mini teams rogaine practice aimed at children going to the AIMS games, and/or the Manawatu Schools Teams Champs. Teams of 2 or 3 will have 15 minutes to find together as many of the 26 controls as they can and be back at the finish in time to avoid losing points.  This will just be a practice so feel free to do a course of your own first.

Confident Yellow level orienteers are encouraged to try the Orange course. None of the control sites are difficult. You will get much more practise at map reading and choosing the best way to get to your next control (route choice).  A compass will not be necessary nor the ability to read contours. 

Pre-registrations have now closed.  On-the-day entry is an option - although maps will be limited.
