Looking for an interesting way of getting some exercise? Street Orienteering offers the opportunity to take part in regular street and/or park runs in a social environment. The sport caters for all ages and fitness levels - typically, A, B, C and D grade offer runs of 10, 8, 6 and 4.5 km respectively and an E grade event of about 3 km is especially designed for children and beginners. In addition, there is a Power-Walking section - if you can walk for about 1 hour this is the event for you.

Metropolitan park/street events are held at 7:00pm on Mondays and Wednesdays (if you are a newcomer, please be there by 6:40 so we can brief you). Suburban and bush events are held on Saturdays and Sundays from March to late October. If you would like more information please try the excellent training and information pages provided by the Emus Orienteering Club

Street-Orienteering Who's Who Printed copies of the program
Don't key all 100 Events into your diary, computer or PDA? See the Emus Orienteering Club download page if you'd like to download the fixture for the current series.  Note - there is a printable 2 page version available there for folks (like me) that still use paper diaries. Want to know who that other runner or walker is? Do you have a name and want to know what the person looks like so you can talk to them at an event? If so, just go to the Street-Orienteering Who's Who pages. We'll update this regularly. Please forward additional photos/names if you wish to be included. Printed brochures are readily available at all events.
