Start: Anytime between 11.30am – 1.00pm (course closes at 2.00pm)
Course type: Score event – 60 minutes

In this score orienteering event, you’ll choose your own route, visiting as many controls as you can within 60 minutes (like a mini rogaine!). Controls can be visited in any order – just don’t be late back! You’ll lose points for every minute you’re overdue.

The Otatara Dunes map features a mix of tōtara forest, grassy paths, lupin-covered dunes, rough open land, marshes, and streams. Keep an eye (and ear) out for local birdlife – you might spot paradise ducks, herons, fantails, and tūī along the way.

This event is suitable for all ages and abilities – beginners are always welcome.

Please note:
– No dogs allowed
– Do not touch any pest traps you may encounter
