Welcome to our page for the Saturday Series (fondly known as "CakeO"). The increasingly popular Saturday afternoon events are particularly enjoyed by family groups. CakeO runs from April-October each year. In off weeks and over summer we often hold informal "BrunchO" training runs on Saturday mornings - see below.
Setting a course soon? Don't forget you can find all the information and guidance you need for setting your course here.

Friday, 24 March 2017
Our first EndurO for 2017 is on Saturday April 1, at Endeavour Hills. There will be 40 controls, worth varying points, the aim being to maximise your score in the time allowed. The A courses for Runners and Walkers are 120 minutes long, starting at 2pm and finishing at 4pm. The B courses for Runners and Walkers are 90 minutes long, starting at 2.15pm and finishing at 3.45pm (note this differs from the information in the printed fixture). Entry fees are the same as other Saturday series events, ie $5 for adults and $2 for juniors under 21. Saturday season tickets include EndurOs. And look out for the JWOC Jam Stall, featuring delicious jams, pickles, chutneys and cordial.

Saturday Series
Welcome to the Saturday Afternoon Series.
Where: Parks and streets in and around Melbourne suburbs.
When: 2pm on most Saturdays from April to October.
Cost: $5 per event for adults, $2 for juniors/students
There are two Runners courses (60 mins and 45 mins) and a 60 min Power Walkers course. All courses are SCORE format, with the aim being to visit as many controls as possible in the allocated time.
Refreshments are available after all events. Please stay for a while and bring a plate of food to share. Do not rely on public toilets being available or accessible near start locations on Saturdays.
All Park and Street Orienteering events welcome people of all abilities and ages. There are a range of courses that accommodate everyone from the elite sports person right through to those who are just looking for a good walk to help stay in shape.
Saturday events are ideal for newcomers, and for kids. 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's Park and Street Orienteering events are available at the events. And of course information is available on this website.
Enquiries: Peter Yeates, tel 0407 345 368
