Serving as our Christmas function, with a base at Portobello Domain. This event will involve starting at the Domain, biking/running 3km to Broad Bay along Te Awa Ōtākou/Otago Harbour cycleway, doing a 2hr rogaine across the Hereweka Harbour Cone Trust land, returning to Broad Bay, then biking/running back to Portobello Domain.
The sprint course will follow the rogaine and use the new Portobello School map. It is being designed by William Macknight - one of our upcoming juniors.
We hope you will come join us for a day of orienteering - enjoying both the challenging rogaine, a shared BYO picnic, and a quick school sprint.
Registrations and more details to follow shortly.
Information available here, closer to the time.

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.
