This event uses MapRun and physical checkpoints

Courses traverse the woodland in the Park. On the map there are many tracks, including mountain bike tracks. On the moderate and hard courses checkpoints may be positioned on contour features such as spurs and gullies. Expect a grassy and bushy understory that may limit speed and visibility. Compass useful for this event.

All participants must be registered online through Orienteering Australia (Eventor) prior to this event!
