AWOC Street-Orienteering Series: The
series will provide foot orienteering and mountain-bike orienteering activities/races.
Also a Duo-Orienteering, involving foot and mountain bike legs
with an element of navigation, will be held on the Willow Park. You can
take the race at whatever pace you like – as hard or as easy as you want.
We want everyone to be able to have a go, challenge themselves, but above
all, have fun! The event is for all ages and abilities, male or
female, solo competitors, pairs (two competitors complete the entire course
together) and teams. (more than two competitors complete the entire course together).
For first timers, there will be available a brief coaching session before
the start of each events. The navigation is quite straight forward and
anyone capable of using a street directory or a city map is more than
able to complete these events without getting lost. Two courses, long
and short lengths to choose from. The estimated winning times for the
race will be approximate. 35 minutes for the long course and 25 minutes
short. The race will require you to find checkpoints using the provided
map to navigate your way around the course. |
