State Championships weekend

Two WA state championship events will be held on the weekend of 22-23 August - a sprint on the Saturday afternoon, and middle distance bush event on Sunday morning. Come and enjoy the challenge of sprinting around buildings and sports areas on Saturday, and trekking through a detailed bush course on Sunday!

New participants to orienteering are very welcome to both events. Entries for the Championship classes are now closed, but EOD will be available for non-championship entries.
