There will be separate Boys and Girls grades. (Senior Secondary Boys and Girls, Yr 11-13; Junior Secondary Boys and Girls, Yr 9-10; Intermediate school Boys and Girls, Yr 7-8, Primary school Boys and Girls, Yr 5-6).
You will be given a set amount of time to find as many of the controls as you can, in any order, before your time is up.
Planning time before you start will be given.
You must stay together with your team mates at all times.
If you are late back points will be deducted from your total.
The event is being held at Paneiri Park/Ahimate Reserve. Please enter by the Maxwell's Line entrance only NOT the pedestrian pathway by the river as you will be walking through the course and you may risk disqualification.
