This is a free event to test out orienteering at Westfield Chatswood.
Participation is restricted to a maximum of 30 people only.
Participants will be chosen based on a first-come, first-served basis however we will also be ensuring that a wide cross-section of people participate (including diverse ages and experience levels). This event will be suitable for beginners that have never orienteered as well as for regular orienteers.

Start Window: 4pm to 5:15pm (you can start any time within this time window) on Wednesday 19 October, 2022.
Course Closure: 6pm (you must report back into the finish by this time).
Courses: There will be one course which will be a “score” format ie plan your own route to visit as many checkpoints marked on the map as possible within the time limit. A printed map will be provided to participants at the start. Kindly note that this test event will be a walking-only event and non-competitive. Feedback from participants will be appreciated.
Children: All “minors” should be supervised by a parent or guardian during participation. Shadowing by a parent or responsible guardian (ie active supervision throughout the entire course) of children will be allowed and will be required for under 12’s whilst participating in this event.
Event area: The event will be set entirely within public areas of Westfield Chatswood. We have prepared a special map of the centre and it covers multiple levels of the two buildings. For this test event, all shops, level 1 (Target and the escalators to Target), level 6 (Hoyts cinema level), lifts, fire stairs, car parks and external areas are out of bounds.
Event essentials: To participate in the event, you will need a fully charged mobile phone with the free MapRun6 app installed. Note that the watch-based MapRunG platform will not work for this event. Further information will be emailed to participants on Monday 17 October, 2022.
