FINAL DETAILS – CENTRAL ZONE EVENT 5
AUCKLAND GRAMMAR
Wednesday 25 March 2025
The important bits first:
If you have new orienteers in your group, there are a few things we have available to help. Make sure they’ve watched the video for first-timers on the info pages. We will have Orienteering Lifeguards out on course that they can ask for help if they are stuck. If participants doing orienteering for the first time or are not feeling confident they may go in pairs this week with a map and Sport Ident card each.
Please try to be at the venue before 4pm so students can hear the race briefing.
Remember, no lining up at the start lines until after the race briefing. We can not state an exact time for briefing as it occurs immediately after all controls are put out. It is usually around 3:50-4:00pm. After briefing has finished students will be asked to line up behind their competition grade signs. They will be released to start approximately every 45-60 seconds from then till all students have started.
Results will be available live on the TV screen at the event centre and published afterwards at schoolsorienteering.co.nz/results/
