Saturday Orienteering Series
Term 4 features high‑energy orienteering set entirely on school grounds — fast courses, tight turns, complex buildings, and plenty of chances to out‑smart your friends. These events are designed to be quick, social, and seriously fun.
Each week you’ll tackle a new map, new route choices, and new challenges. Expect fast decision‑making and the thrill of finding the best line before anyone else does. It’s competitive, but in the best way — everyone is learning, everyone is improving, and everyone is part of the action.
Courses are open from 9:30am and at 11am each week there will also be social relays for 2 to 4 runners (it's all included in the one entry). Everyone can participate. If you don't have a team mate, the Bold Horizons crew will match you up with a buddy.
Why you’ll want to be there
- Courses are short, sharp, and designed for speed
- School campuses make the navigation intense and exciting
- You can race solo or team up with friends
- Every week feels different with new layouts and tricky map details
- It’s active, social, and a great way to spend an morning outdoors
What to expect each session
- A fast‑paced course set around buildings, courtyards, stairs, and open areas
- A friendly, upbeat atmosphere
- Coaches on hand to help you level up your skills
- Results that show your progress across the term
Whether you’re competitive, curious, or just keen to hang out and try something new, school‑ground orienteering gives you a challenge that’s fun, social, and different from anything else you do during the week.
Come along, get moving, and discover something new.
