Events
We are delighted to announce the plans for the Easter 4 Day events: a sprint, and 3 multiday distance forest events all centred on the Waitarere Beach forests. Each event will have a unique feel, and are brought to you by Red Kiwis, Orienteering Hutt Valley, and Orienteering Wellington. All systems are “go”!
- Day 1 (Good Friday): Sprint at Palmerston Boys High and Queen Elizabeth College.
- Day 2 (Saturday): Watchtower, multiday.
- Day 3 (Easter Sunday): Hydrabad, longer multiday
- Day 4 (Easter Monday): Whirokino, shorter multiday

In keeping with our “no frills” theme, the entry fees are lower than you would expect for Nationals.

Updates
To keep the event simple, there will be age grades for 20E and 21E only, with white to red courses available for the remaining grades. The three forest events are multiday distances – a bit shorter than a long, so you can comfortably run three of them without your body deciding to just head home.
