Auckland Orienteering Club is hosting an Ultra-Sprint event at
Cornwall Park on Saturday 1 Feb, but with a few twists this year. There are no control descriptions. Instead
there is a dot in the middle of the control circle identifying the exact
location of the control. There is an
artificial (man-made) maze to contend with. There will be some dummy controls to try to
trick you and a mis-punch will not disqualify you, but will add 30 seconds to
your time for each error.
Three races will be held to qualify for the finals each being
around a kilometre long with runners getting to chose when they start and which
of the three courses to run as long as all are completed by a certain time. The final mass start race is for the top 4 in
each grade to decide the winners.
On Sunday, marks the return of Sprint Auckland Day. 15 one kilometre races in one day as a group
of self-supported orienteers make their way across Auckland’s parks and
schools. Will be excellent!
