Winter Sprint Series
This series of events has a choice of 3 short courses on maps providing lots of route choice around parks or buildings. The course lengths range from about 3.5km down to 1.5km and can be completed at a fast run in about 12 minutes or a gentle stroll in 30-40 minutes.
While set as sprints where orienteers need to make decisions at pace they are also ideal courses for beginners or people wanting a stroll/jog in a park on a course similar to course 3 at the SummerNav Series.
SPORTident electronic timing is used so if you own a SPORTident card, make sure you bring it. Others can hire one for $3 (children 10 and under free). The controls are going to be set for Air in 2022 so, if you have one, you can use a SIAC card.
Pre-entry
To save time at the event we'd very much appreciate if you would enter online. This is not mandatory but it would reduce congestion and speed up the organisation at the event. Entries will be downloaded at 1pm and incorporated in the software. Hence entries close at 1pm on the day of the event but you can still come along and enter when you arrive. The entry form will be on the home page with the particular event. If you have pre-entered and have your own e-card you can go straight to the start.
Time
Starts are between 3.45pm and 4.45pm (gets too dark to go later)
Cost
Please pay online. Westpac bank account number is 03-0195-0641747-00. As there is a great shortage of time to get everyone organised and around their course there will be no money taken at the events. Everyone must pay online, even if you enter at the event.
