MFR Sprints - Orienteering Racing Redefined.

MFR are proud to present an innovative new series of sprint orienteering events over January/February 2021. For the final event of the series, the current Junior World Champion, Aston Key, is preparing some exceptional courses for you (with a few twists) around the maze of alleyways and irregular streets in Carlton.

The MFR Sprints will be perfect for all experience levels and are designed to be particularly newcomer-friendly, so if you're keen to try sprint orienteering - or know of friends/family who are - then this is the event for you!

We will be making use of the new 'Mini-mass start format', participants will be allocated into groups of 10 people who will start together. These groups will be announced closer to the time. One course will be offered, which is suited to all ages and ability levels.

Entry fees - Adult: $10, Junior: $5

This event will comply with Orienteering Victoria’s Return to Sport Plan. https://www.vicorienteering.asn.au/return-to-orienteering/

NOTE: Due to permission issues after we were forced to reschedule this event, we are unable to use the Brunswick map this time. Instead we're heading back to the event centre from the first event at Carlton, but making use of an entirely different part of the map (which we were going to save for next year's series).
