Dunedin Orienteering - Have a Go Morning

By Dunedin Orienteering | Posted: Wednesday March 25, 2026

The Dunedin Orienteering is hosting another have a go day this Sunday morning (29 March) at Chingford Park.

• 10:30am -12:30 pm - Set up will be outside the Cricket Pavilion.

• Gold coin donation to cover map printing.

This is a good chance for anyone interested in having a go at orienteering or rogaining to learn more about our sport in a non-pressured way.

We will start with a map walk so they can understand the unique maps we use

Then they can either have a go at a easy course or use the permanent course as a base for challenging their own skills.

Register via our website / facebook page / via this link or simply turn up on the day.

Hopefully this weather continues :-). Open to all ages from pre-school to 90years+

This is a good refresher or introduction for all those students interested in competing in the upcoming school series across term 2.
