Upcoming Events
OY Classic #2 Middlemarch Sun 16th Aug
Our next Orienteering event is this Sunday 16th August on the Gladbrook map. Travel on State Highway 87 towards Middlemarch and follow the signs into Kidds Road at Sutton. Start times are from 11:00am to 12:30pm. This is part of our Orienteer of the Year series and there are courses for all abilities. Our standard event fees will apply.
An update about requirements for running this event under Covid19 Alert level 2, or otherwise, will be posted here on Saturday.
Orienteering is intrinsically a socially distanced sport, particularly on an open map like Gladbrook, with 3 minute start intervals between competitors on the same course, spread across a 90min period between 11am-12.30pm.
At Either Level 1 or 2, if you feel unwell please do not attend the event.
Bring your own water cups/bottles, & tissues or handkerchiefs for using as you run.
Fill out your Event Registration form accurately, as our contact tracing record, with one bubble/carload representative approaching the caravan at a time, to pay and register.
Parents are responsible for ensuring their children respect social distancing requirements around other club volunteers and competitors.
A portaloo will be provided on site with hand sanitiser.
The contactless SportIdent system will be used. Hire one, or consider buying your own to avoid future hire. We have some for sale.
At this stage, please bring exact cash payment.
Results will be online later that evening.
