Orienteering World Cups and Oceania Carnival in New Zealand
In early January 2013, for the first time since 1994, the Orienteering World Cup comes to New Zealand. The first 3 races of World Cup 2013 will be held in association with the Oceania Orienteering Championships and will give Australasian orienteers an opportunity to watch and mix with the best in the world. With areas and event centres chosen specifically with spectator interest in mind this is one series of events that you cannot afford to miss.
Plan now to not only support your local elites but also to run on the same maps in the Oceania Championships and the seven day multi day competition.
Preview video is available to view at the NZOrienteering YouTube channel

Middle distance race summary. A hot day on the Manawatu coast saw Fabian Hertner (Switzerland) win mens and Helena Jansson (Sweden) the womens race. It was a tough course navigating through sand-dunes unfamiliar to the New Zealanders, who had best results of 21st Lizzie Ingham in the womens and Chris Forne (22nd) in mens.
