Blakes farm is an interesting dairy farm, with scattered patches of pine forest, moderate rolling hills and a decent patch of native bush. The farm owners are club members with 3 generations of their family regularly attending various club events, thanks so much for this families generousity in allowing us to enjoy their farm.

There are 4 courses, Red Long 3.6km, Red Short, Orange 2.8km  and Yellow 1.9km. These will suit all levels of orienteers as the terrain is quite straightforward but the courses are set to challenge all entrants.

Registrations on the day from 09:30am, courses close at 12:30pm. Registration and parking will be at the old Springfield school/Springfield tennis club with a 500m walk to the start.

Please register online, if you can. This will ensure we have enough maps on the day and it makes the registration process on the day easier.

Please pick up the map  for the course that you want to run, and its course descriptions, from the labelled plastic boxes beside the registration table. Pick up a plastic map bag if needed.

Check in at the registration table to collect a Sport Ident and to pay ( if paying on the day), and ask for a compass if required. (We have a limited number of compasses)

Then you can make your way up the track to self start. This event will be a self punching start. Remember to return to the finish before course closure at 12.30pm. 

Entry fees: WHO member = $10, Non-member = $15, WHO member family = $25
