Individual Races
Short, fast orienteering courses within schools with distances and difficulty increasingly challenging for older students. Youngest students can expect individual courses around 1km in length, oldest students more like 3-4km.
New to orienteering? Jump on board and fast-track your skills – we conduct weekly skills sessions after school that students are welcome to attend.
| Individual Race Age Classes |
| Years 3 and 4 |
| Years 5 and 6 |
| Years 7 and 8 |
| Years 9 and 10 |
| Years 11 and 12 |
We understand that kids are learning. Rather than disqualification for missed or incorrect controls, time penalties will apply for individual courses.
Team Races
Teams of three will tackle a relay challenge together. Each team will need to devise a team strategy, before team members take turns to navigate to their agreed controls and collect maximum points.
Courses will test team work, communication and planning, navigation and fitness.
Let us know your team name and team mates when you register for the Series.
There are three different team classes which are based on the combined age of all three team members as at race day:
Flyers – combined age of 45+ years
Speedsters – combined age of 35 to 44 years
Trailblazers – combined age under 35 years
