Congratulations to our 2023 WA Long Distance Champions – Kellie Whitfield from SWOT and Craig Dufty from BO – and congratulations to all the class winners and place getters. Run on a beautiful spring day at the picturesque Umuna, it was an excellent forerunner to the upcoming Kambarang Carnival.
Despite passing through many foggy patches whilst en-route to Marginata, the day turned out very pleasant for orienteering with a warm sun alternating with cloud. Eighty-eight competitors appeared to have enjoyed the day.
Come to Umuna for an ideal last hit-out in similar terrain to the Kambarang Carnival’s Peterdine, Frazzle Rock and Avon Valley events. Enjoy expansive views, open paddocks, wandoo woodland, detailed granite outcrops and bare rock surfaces, gullies, spurs and hills.
Pre-entry for WA State Long Distance Championships close on Wednesday, 13 September at 17:00. Enter on the Day (EOD) will be available for some courses.
