Seventy one people enjoyed the first SOL (State O League) event of the season. The Wundabiniring area has subtle features, but fantastic runability, allowing this event to be fast and furious. The weather was warm, and fortunately the rain held off until all the controls had been collected.
On the Sunday and Monday of the June Long Weekend, head to the fast and runnable area of Hill Park Dale (near Beverley) for the WA Classic two-day bush event! This is the only event on the OWA calendar this year where your performance over two days counts for the overall result. Awards are made for first male and first female on each course, based on cumulative time over the two days.
The WA Classic is a great opportunity to get out of the city for a two-day event, camp on the Sunday night, enjoy the evening with your orienteering friends and be fresh to compete on the Monday morning.
In this MTBO score event, you will have 3 hours to visit as many controls as you like on WA's largest orienteering map.
From the visitor centre in Dwellingup, you can either go out for the full 3 hours, or come back for a recharge and enjoy the cafe! There will be lots of controls within a 3km radius of the start, so the event is well suited to beginners, families, and even walkers/runners (enter runner class). E-bikes welcome - enter the E-Bike class!
No bike, no problem! You can hire a mountain bike or e-bike right from the start location for $35.
