Southern Highlands Orienteers (SHOO)’s SOS series brings great sprint-style events to local schools. Because the schools are fenced and courses are broken into a series of short legs, the SOS series is fantastic for kids to come and grow in confidence, and learn independent orienteering skills. Also, kids from the hosting school run free, so round up your friends!

St Greg’s is a new map, and it will be a more “proper” sprint - larger map, more complicated buildings etc, so we recommend it for more experienced orienteers as well.

Assembly location and time
The assembly is at St Gregory’s Senior College, Gregory Hills. There will be red and white orienteering directional signs out from Badgally Road/Gregory Hills Drive to guide you into the assembly at the Senior College. Just park in main car park on the school grounds and come to the registration desk under the shelter shed.

Event registration is from 9:30am. Event briefing (particularly important for new orienteers) is at 10.00am). You can then start your run any time between 10:00am and 11:00am (it's a good idea to take a bit of time to plan using your map).

Courses and cost
There are a range of courses on offer to suit both adults and kids. Kids from 5 upwards can participate, with simple courses who are beginners, through to more advanced “racing” courses for those who have orienteered before, or want a challenge.

Costs: TBA
