OA is calling for nominations from eligible Australian orienteers who would like to take part in the next AUS/NZ Challenge, to be held in conjunction with the Oceania Championships in New Zealand from 24-27 January, 2025.
The Challenge consists of a sprint, middle, long and relay. However, you are still eligible to nominate for the team if you can’t make all the races (e.g. you can only run the middle and the long, or some other combination of races).
