Coaching

If you would like some coaching from one of our team of experienced orienteers before you start, allow time for this too. Coaching is available between 9:30am and 10:30am. It needs to stop at 10:30am so the coaches have time to plan their own rogaine.

Note: Coaching will not be available for students before their event since it is a Championship event.

Bivouac Outdoor

We are very appreciative of Bivouac Outdoor's ongoing support of our Rogaine series. Collect one of their discount cards when you register!

Dogs

Friendly, well-behaved dogs that can be controlled around a lot of people & horses are welcome at the event. Dogs will not be aloowed inside the Surf Club for prize-giving.

Food Stall

There will be a food stall at this event - raising funds to help some of our young orienteers represent New Zealand at events in Europe later this year. They will be selling barbecued sausages, baking & drinks.

A coffee van will also be at the event. Please bring CASH as Eftpos will NOT be available.

Water

Please bring your own water to drink before and after the event. We will not be providing water. We suggest you also bring a snack to enjoy while you wait for the prizegiving.
