|
| A series of running events
timed over 45 minutes that involve visiting a variety of local
features, or checkpoints. These checkpoints are marked on specially
prepared orienteering maps that are used to help navigate your way
around the local parks, streets and bush tracks where the events are
held. |
|
| The checkpoints have
different score values and the runners with the highest scores at the
end of 45 minutes (in their age classes) are the winners. |
|
| The Summer Series events
are for everyone, attracting walkers and joggers through to champion
runners. If you like running or walking with a navigational challenge,
you will love the Summer Series. |
|
| What to Bring: You don't need any gear apart from your normal
jogging shoes and appropriate clothing (shorts and T-shirt are fine).
Compasses (if needed) can be hired at the event and instruction is
available to all first timers. |
|
| Facilities: All venues will have drinking water available and
soft drinks for sale. In most cases toilet facilities are close by.
|
|
| Start times: Start times for all events are between 4.45pm and
6.45pm (except pre daylight saving events 1,2 and 3 which will start
between 4.00pm and 6.00pm). All events are 'on' regardless of the
weather. |
|
| Prizes: Prizes will be awarded to the placegetters in a
series of age categories at the last event in March. Progressive
results will be on display at each event and on this site with the best
12 scores counting for the final tally and prizes. |
|
| Groups: Although we
prefer individual entries, there are reasons some competitors prefer to
run as a group – parents and small children for instance. When a group
want to enter and run together, ALL competitor’s names must be
clearly noted on the registration card. This is to ensure compliance
with the OANSW insurance policy. Note that group results are to be
included in the result listings at each event but will NOT count in the
overall age group progressive point-scoring. |
