The Auckland orienteering summer series is your chance to get out into the parks and recreational areas of Auckland, experience the sport of orienteering, practise map reading, improve your fitness, and visit areas you may not have been to before.
Walk, run or jog by yourself or with friends.
We provide you with:
- a high quality park orienteering map.
- a selection of preset courses.
The challenge is: can you plan and follow your best route to visit the points in correct order, taking the least amount of time?
All are welcome to give it a go:
- Individuals, families and groups;
- Kids, adults and seniors;
- First timers through to competitive athletes;
- Map navigation practice.
For each event, course information is provided on the event notice board at the Registration Campermatic. Courses vary between events.
