Sprint 1 Leeming SHS

Welcome to the first Sprint event for 2026! This event will take place on a Sunday morning at Leeming SHS campus, followed by OWA AGM.

Sprint events feature short courses (2–3.5 kms), usually held in a small, compact area with complex features, such as the buildings and passages of a university campus. The event is suited for all fitness and experience levels - our instructors will be on hand if you are new to sprint orienteering.

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

Sprint 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!
