A Few Important Mingela Notes ...
TTOC will be hosting a SCORE ORIENTEERING EVENT on arguably the best orienteering map in Northern Queensland ! A brilliant map and event, great for the beginner, through to the experienced, so grab your mates, parents, neighbours and sporting buddies for a great morning out in the bush ! Just a quick note - Please leave the dogs at home; this map is on private property !
WHAT IS A SCORE EVENT
Similar to the Urban Adventures, participants will be issued map with a large number of Checkpoints on it, with each CP being worth a different value depending on its distance away from the start-finish and its difficulty to find. The aim is for individuals (or pairs) to gain as many points as they can in the allocated timings ... its not just about good navigation and fast movement, it's about tactics and good planning as well. In an orienteering score event; participants usually run as individuals, however if you want to run as a family or pair for this one, we have no problems with that.
TIMINGS - There will be ONE mass start for the 2 hour event and TWO for the 1-hour event .. .so make sure you don't miss them !!! 2h event start 1000h and 1h event starts 1000h and 1100h.
