Race Description
Orienteering is competitive or non-competitive recreational hiking or running activity in which participants use a map and compass (compass is not compulsory!) to navigate between checkpoints along an unfamiliar route. This is NOT a marked trail run, and competitors use their map to navigate their own way between various checkpoints on route. For more information about orienteering, visit www.roc.org.za
Find all the checkpoints and return to the finish in the fastest possible time. This is a great day out for individual competitors, but also for groups, families and friends. Stay for the prize giving at the end for the social atmosphere and spot prizes. Wolwespruit is a mountain biking and trail running paradise in the eastern suburbs of Pretoria!
