Mardalup Park, Claisebrook

NavDash 2 courses will go through the Swan River foreshore parklands and quiet streets in redeveloped suburbia around Claisebrook Cove, with views across the river to Optus Stadium from the event site. The event centre is at Mardalup Park, at the east end of Brown Street, north of Claisebrook Cove. The three courses all have intended winning times under 15 minutes, but they provide options that should suit everyone.

Registration: Enter online via Eventor before midnight on Saturday 9th March (preferred) or enter at the event 8:30–10:00am. EFT payments will be available.
Start Times: From 9am to 10:30am.
Courses Close: 11:30pm. You need to return to the assembly area by this time, whether or not you complete the course.
Facilities: Toilets.
Please bring: Your SI card and compass or these can be borrowed at the event. Also bring a hat and water bottle, and comfortable walking or running shoes.
Instructors in orange vests will be on hand to help if you need assistance.

Directions to the event are in Eventor along with additional information, including the Information Flyer.
Parking at Mardalup Park is limited. If you need to park in nearby streets, please approach the arena via Brown Street.
Public transport options: The arena is about 1km by foot or bike from Claisebrook Station. The Yellow CAT bus goes from City Farm (S of the station) to Victoria Park (adjacent to the toilets).
Accessibility: The Easy course is suitable for children and is accessible to wheelchairs and prams (paths and a few short sections of lawn).

More information about NavDash events can be found on the OWA website, including NavDash event guidesprint orienteering tips and a sample sprint map.

NavDash event maps contain features which must not be crossed or entered, even if it is possible to do so. Some out-of-bounds areas are more obvious (e.g. garden beds) but some do not have physical boundaries (e.g. around cafes) so read your map carefully! Check out a sample legend with uncrossable features for NavDash/sprint events, and make sure to check the legend on your map at each event!
