The courses are suitable for all ages and abilities - they are family-friendly, pram-friendly and runner-friendly, ranging from 3-8 km in length.You can walk or run, go alone or in a group. Children are welcome to take part - in a sling, on your back, in a buggy or let them walk! Dogs on leads are welcome too.

Arrive from 4:15 pm ready to set off at 5pm in a mass start. Be as quick you can (to be in with the chance of a prize) or just see how far you can get/how many controls you can get in the time. Courses close at 6:15 pm.For details of locations and entry fees of upcoming events check out www.wa.orienteering.asn.au/events/event-calendar/metroCome along to one event or take part in the series?
