Sprint Series Finals

SPRINT FINAL CHAMPIONSHIPS – 6 April 2025

After the series has finished the top runners in each grade from each zone are selected and they compete in the Sprint finals which is held over a day with a run in the morning, determining the start order for the afternoon.

We’re excited to have all the students from the 5 zones racing each other and taking part in two great sprint orienteering events.

Don’t forget it’s a change in Daylight saving on Sunday with clocks going back an hour. It means Sunday 3am will become 2am, and we’ll gain an hour of sleep. Makes sure you work this in to your timing in the morning 😁

Registration from 9am at McLeans College.
Morning Race Briefing at 9:45am
Morning start from 10am
Afternoon Race Briefing at 1:15pm at Saint Kentigen College.
Afternoon start from 1:30pm
Placings from morning event determines starting place for afternoon event

Both events count for the final result, so the times are combined to form a total time. The top 10 from each year group in the morning event, start last in the afternoon and in reverse order, so the fastest person from the morning starts last. These top 10 students will be quarantined in an area without visibility of the start or access to see other finished students maps etc.

There are 1st, 2nd and 3rd winners medals for each year grade – 7, 8, 9, 10/11 and 12/13.
