UFO Series takes off

Details
 streetUFO         
        Urban Foot Orienteering series (UFO)
              starts Wednesday 5th March                              
UFO events are line course orienteering in urban parkland and reserves, using SPORTident punching, and suitable for all ages with newcomers welcome at all events. UFO_Map_snip_2.jpg
Two course options are on offer of approximately 4-5km & 2-2.5km plus a free, non-competitive mini course of around 1km for juniors & novices. 
The UFO Series consists of three qualifying events followed by a graded final. There is also a separate Night Champs event after daylight savings finishes. 
 
UFO events are a great warm up for the upcoming Bush Season, an excellent transition from Street-O to more technical navigation and a perfect intro for newcomers to orienteering.
 
                         For full details see the Urban Series Calendar   

Note that Urban events use Sprint Standard maps and all competitors should be aware of the impassable features as shown below (for all Sprint Map Symbols see here).
