Everyone is welcome to take part in this popular mid-week orienteering series based in Hobart. There are courses designed for newcomers and regular orienteers alike.
Orienteering is a great adventure for people who like the challenge of finding things and who enjoy being active outdoors.
Held after work and school it’s a great opportunity to improve your fitness exploring neighbourhood parks and trails. Most people will take between 20 - 40 minutes to finish.
Orienteering is an individual sport but you are welcome to go out with a friend or as a family group for these social events.
Children can participate in the Schools Series being held at the same time and place. This means whole families can take part. Parents you are not just a taxi service.
All events are on Wednesday afternoons with starts anytime between 3.30pm and 6.30pm. Just turn up to participate when it suits you (no pre-entry required). You can attend as many events as you like.

Visit www.tasorienteering.asn.au before each event for specific details of start location, parking and possible changes.
There will be coaches on hand to help any newcomers before you start. Then you must find your way around a set course, with courses of different lengths and degrees of difficulty to choose from, including the option to stay on tracks. In the Schools Series, juniors are divided into Primary and High School divisions.
Orienteering is more of a personal challenge than a race. It’s a great opportunity to build resilience, gain confidence and for children, to grow independence. Participants are trusted to find their own way, making decisions about route choices, how fast to go and also, safety.
