BUSH ORIENTEERING

More than just a trail run. Moving off the trail into the bush.

What Is It About

Bush orienteering is the classic form of the sport. With no marked route on the ground and in a bush environment; the aim is to reach pre-determined control points using a map for navigation. The key is concentration and the ability to make navigation decisions while moving as fast as you can. It’s not just for runners, but walkers/joggers as well. We have events available for everyone regardless of fitness or age.
