School startlists by surname

OY courses startlist by surname

There are no allocated start times - students just turn up to start between 10-11am. They must have started by 11am. Turn up earlier, so as to avoid a queue. Orange and White courses have the most entries.

There will be a start list with times up at the Event Centre, for OY participants to allocate themselves a time for starting, once the majority of students have finished. This start time is expected to be around 11am, but will depend on how long the students take.

Information about this event can be found here.

There are specific details about clothing requirements and course challenges, so please ensure you read this information before leaving home on Sunday.

Dunedin Orienteering is now Otago Orienteering

At the 2026 AGM we voted to change the name of the club from the Dunedin Orienteering Club to Otago Orienteering Club. This is to better reflect the geographical spread of our members and events.

We are undertaking the process of updating websites and emails to reflect this.
