WELCOME

The Red Kiwi Orienteering club is based in Palmerston North, New Zealand. Our events are held in the Manawatu - Horowhenua - Whanganui regions.
Our emphasis is to hold family-friendly competitions at parks, schools, forests and farms of our region.
We have access to Waitarere and Santoft Forests where the more adventurous can enhance their navigation skills.
