About the race
The Xmas fun and social event at Diamond Harbour is an orienteering meet with multiple course options and an end-of-year prizegiving. The venue is based at the Stoddart Point car park above the ferry terminus in Diamond Harbour. The terrain mixes mature pine forest, park areas, historic buildings and amenity plantings, with some intricate vegetation and rock features. A range of courses is offered to accommodate different experience levels.
Courses include: - White - Yellow - 1 hour score/rogaine for Orange and Red runners with a mass start option Pre-entry is preferred and will open approximately two weeks before the event; pre-entries close the Wednesday before the event. Limited enter-on-the-day places will be available and are charged at non-member prices. All runners doing the score/rogaine must carry an Si Air stick.
Entries are paid by credit or debit card at the time of entry through the online entry system; helpers and members using VIP points may choose the VIP points payment option. Travel options include driving through Charteris Bay, catching the ferry from Lyttelton, or arriving by small craft. Dogs under effective control are allowed.
