Easter Training Day - Smith's Reef

We have something a bit different organised for this weekend. I have set a sprint-course for the morning for which you need to arrive by 10.30. Starts will be from 11am, and we will be starting at 1 min time intervals. This is a good chance to practice your orienteering under race conditions. In the afternoon I have organised a star-relay, which will have 4 loops. We will have a mass start at 2pm for this race, and you can select to do between 2 and 4 loops. There will also be a beginners course in the afternoon. The start and finish area will be by the dam at Smith's Reef, so if it is a hot day bring your swimmers! Also bring plenty of water with you if it is a hot day. We will have some there, but we have set short courses, with loops passing through the finish so there will be no water on the course.
