Twilight Program

The Runners Shop Twilight Series is for people of all ages and ability. It offers an opportunity to orienteer during the cooler 'sunsmart' twilight hours of summer. Events are generally held in bushland, parkland or streets within the metropolitan area.

Three or four courses are usually offered — two Orange (6km and 4km), one Green (2km) and sometimes one Blue (1.5km). Occasionally, score events are held, where a watch is essential as courses are time limited, eg 30 minutes.

Runners Shop Twilight Series

The Runners Shop Twilight Series (on Orange courses) uses handicapped kilometre rates rather than actual race time. Points are awarded as 125 for first, 124 for second, and so on down to 25 for 101st (and lower). The overall series places are based on the best N/2 scores from N events (where N equals the number of events staged). Runners Shop vouchers will be presented to the top three placings in the Series.

In addition all juniors (up to year 12) who participate in eight or more events will receive a certificate and be eligible to participate in a barrel draw for minor prizes such as Runners Shop vouchers. The draw will be made at around 7.00 pm at the Final event.
