Welcome to the 5th event of our Summer Sundown Street Score Series for 2014/15. Each event is a mass start Score event (get as many as you can) over 60 minutes run during twilight on a map with streets and bush trails. Each control has the same value - 1 point. Clip the most controls to win. You may run as a team, but this is not a team event like a rogaine.

This event is not suitable for young orienteers; we are not offering a Park course or any Easy courses. All courses run across and along streets and through hilly bushland tracks. The courses are relatively straightforward, but you will be running at dusk, so they will be more challenging.

We are using a brand new IOF colour map at 1:10,000 of The Observatory, an awesome recent housing development sprawling across the hilltops above Burleigh Heads in the southern Gold Coast. Large areas of the map are untouched bushland reserve containing many kilometres of entertaining new recreational trails and also old fire roads.

You may complete your course on foot or using a Mountain Bike or similar sturdy bicycle.
