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.

Surrey Dive
Sunday, 9 April 2017
Surrey Dive was a busy place to be on a warm Saturday afternoon, and we enjoyed the sunshine for the second event in the series. With three controls very close to the start, quick decisions had to be made. Once out of the park, the big scores were obvious, but it was the 2 and 3 pointers that had us thinking. Early decisions to drop low points were potentially costly later on, and there were a few controls way out east for the brave or foolhardy. The radiO contingent had great fun doing a 6 control sprint course using micro controls, after which some discarded their antennas and completed a regular course as well. Bruce completed the course in 16 minutes, followed closely by Ian (17 mins) and Ewen (19 mins).
Three A course runners scored 70 points - Ron, Peter and Andrew, and of course they were the placegetters. Graham, Philippa and I were the top 3 scorers on B course. Michael, Ros and Damian earned the most points on PW. Overall results will be available after event 3, which is on Saturday April 22 at Williamstown. Meanwhile, happy Easter!

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
