Orienteering Challenge 6 – Scott Farm Nth 2026

Orienteering Challenge 6 – Scott Farm Nth is a local foot-orienteering race at Scott Farm North on Scott Road in Horahora. Participants start between 11:00 am and noon, then use a topographical map to find checkpoints in the required order while SPORTident timing records each control visit. The event is organized by the Waikato Orienteering Club and takes place in a rural farm setting, with six course choices for different skill levels. The White course follows clear features such as tracks and fences, Yellow adds basic map-to-ground navigation near obvious landmarks, the two Orange courses send runners cross-country with contour and vegetation reading, and the two Red courses ask experienced orienteers for precise route choice through complex terrain. Families, beginners, groups, and technical runners can all enter, covering first attempts at map reading and tests of speed, fitness, and navigation.
