Santa 6 Days 2023 - Event 1 - City Botanic Gardens (Gardens Point)

Orienteering Queensland is excited to bring to you the 4th Santa 6 Days Event! Held over the Christmas to New Year period, this is a series of free MapRun events. This year they will be held around Brisbane.

Each event in the series will comprise a Long and Short line course and a Score event of 40 minutes. In a Line course you must get the controls in the order on the map.
With a Score event you can get any controls in any order. The goal is to get as high a score as possible in the time limit. If you are not back in 40 minutes you will lose 30 points for every minute (or part thereof) you are late back.

Each event will be unlocked at midnight and the maps will be available to download from the Eventor page for the event the day before. All events are free.
The courses can be at run anytime after they have been posted.

You can run, jog, walk or have a leisurely stroll. You can complete individually or participate in a group. Newcomers welcome! No experience needed. No compass needed.
