It contains essential information for participants and team managers, including a “No whistle, no run” policy for the long and relay (as part of our health and safety planning), and a requirement to contact us urgently if you are bringing a coach or bus to the events (via nzssc24@wellingtonorienteering.org.nz so we can organise parking for you).

(We have had to update the location of the Long Distance event from the originally advertised location in Porirua)
