This year's event will take place around Rangiora and Kaiapoi on the Canterbury Plains.

There are separate starts for each event, the 6 and 9-hour events will start at Norman Kirk Park, which is in the Kaiapoi Red Zone, Cass Street, Kaiapoi. There is plenty of parking in the Red Zone area, especially near the Pavillion. 

The 3-hour event will start in Waikuku Beach. Turn right over the bridge just as you enter the Waikuku Beach township. Then turn left along Bridge Street until you reach Reserve Road, just before the Tennis Courts. If you get to the Surf Club, you've gone too far, although there should be some parking near the Surf Club.

All events finish at the Rangiora Racecourse. Please park in the marked area after turning off Lehmans Road.

As an additional note for any competitors involved in the 2029 Junior World Orienteering Championships, you will be pleased to know that the course does not breach the published embargo notice.
