Sunday, 12 October 2025
Come orienteering and explore the CDB, Esplanade and Waterfront area with the birds early on a Sunday morning! Courses will take you on a discovery tour through some familiar and less familiar places. This is a full MapRun event with all virtual controls. There are no hanging or lockable controls but your phone will go ping when you are in the right place. Three line courses are on offer: Easy, Moderate, Long Moderate
All Welcome including newcomers. Participate as an individual or in a group.
Expect lots of detail and route choice on courses, Mapscale is 1:4,000. Courses are based around the southern end of the CBD. There is a small number of road crossings. Watch out for cars. Courses include parts of the Waterfront Precinct, please be mindful if running around corners. Expect stairs on all courses. Lifts are not to be used on course - a 2 minute time penalty will be applied if MapRun shows that you used the lift! Course lengths have been measured as the crow flies, and the length you will traverse in real life will be longer.
