Orienteering is a map based sport where runners try to be the fastest around a marked course in the quickest possible time using only a map and compass.
At orienteering events there are always courses for a wide range of ages and abilities. We cater for social and competitive natures.
In traditional foot orienteering there is a competitive structure that can lead on to Provincial and National Championships.
New Zealand teams compete throughout the World on a regular basis.
There are many varieties of orienteering. Our club caters for Mountain bike orienteering and cross-country ski orienteering as well as rogaining which is the long distance version of orienteering. Orienteers also have links to adventure racing and multisport events and the relatively new sport of geocaching is also becoming popular amongst some members.
