Thanks to everyone who came out for a great event today at Cypress Falls Park. 

We were incredibly lucky to have 6 great courses in a great little forest AND have the rain, wind and thunder hold off for the duration of the event.

Well done to everyone who competed, and thank you to the many people who put in so much of their time before, during and after the event to help everything go smoothly.

Special thanks to: 

Rachel - for planning and setting out excellent courses, if you enjoyed your run - let her know!

John and Karen - for putting out controls, advising, controlling, registering and collecting money, waiting patiently for spouse, helping take down the registration/finish area

Joanne and Stan - helping set up the registration and finish, running the start, being super hero control collectors in the pouring rain!

Adam - teaching newcomers how to orienteer and being a super hero control collector 

Elizabeth and Bill - for being control collecting super heros, and helping take everything down

Brian P, Scott, Jeremy, Emily, Reid and Chris for their help at the start/registration/finish, putting things out, putting things up, taking things down, being all round stars!

  • Sign up by 9pm on Friday 11th March to ensure you get a map - limited extras available on the day!
  • Don't forget your whistle!

Course Setter's Notes:

  • Use caution when near cliffs and the ravine on the east side of the map. 
  • There have been wind storms since this area was mapped... a lot of runnable forest has fall trees and debris.
  • There are a number of new unmapped trails. Be careful not to let these lead you astray!
