The Sprint Series is where you learn to read a map at speed. The Championship is where it counts. One day in the forest, individual grades from Year 7 to Year 13, and Auckland titles on the line.
400 to 600 students race it each year. It rotates between Auckland's orienteering clubs, and TrailBlaze delivers it on their behalf.
We acknowledge and work with mana whenua for access to the forest.
Same as the Sprint Series: college entries via CollegeSport Auckland, Year 7 and 8 via our form, all through your school.
Yes, it's real forest navigation. Grades keep it fair, and every course is achievable for its grade.
Trail shoes and leg cover. Full gear list goes to schools before race day.
