Park and Street Orienteering
More Fun Than the Same Old Run
Bored with running the same old block? Tired of trudging on the treadmill? Looking for a new way to give your brain and body a boost? Want to see new places and meet new faces?
Park and Street Orienteering provides the perfect combination of mental and physical exercise. You do not need a compass or any special map reading ability. However, it will test your thinking while giving you a great workout in a friendly, safe, outdoor environment. Events are held all over Melbourne, all year round.
Our events welcome people of all ages and abilities, and accommodate everyone from the elite sports person to those looking for a good walk to help stay in shape.
Families and friends can participate in groups or individually. Groups such as schools, scouts, sports or social clubs are very welcome - but please contact us at least a week prior to the event, so we can make sure enough maps are printed.
Printed programs covering all of Melbourne are available at most events. Further information is also available on this website: Want to learn more? Click here

StreetO at Scotch
Thursday, 4 March 2010
It's always a pleasure and a privilege to orienteer at Scotch College as part of the Eastern Summer Series, and this year was no exception. The students put in a huge amount of work to prepare three detailed colour maps (two of them on the eastern side of Glenferrie Road), set the courses, and organise the logistics involved in a three loop race. it sounded complicated, but the instructions and assistance were very clear, and we all had a lot of fun navigating our way around the northeast and southeast maps, before finishing off with a high-paced sprint in the school grounds. Quick decision making was essential! Scotch did a fantastic job organising this event and our thanks go to Sid Boydell and his staff and students, and to event advisor John Sheahan (BK).
