Forest Cup

Forest Cup 2023

This is a 4-race event shared by the three Auckland Region Clubs – NWOC, CMOC, AOC.  There will be a points competition across the series culminating in a Series Finale on the 17th September: 

Event 1 - 13th August - Temu Road Coast – AOC
Event 2 - 20th August - Mushroom Road – NWOC
Event 3 - 10th September - Waiuku Forest South – CMOC
Event 4 - 17th September - Deacon Road – NWOC

  • There is a points competition with points based on time behind the winner.
  • There will be a prize giving after the final based on the best 3 scores across the 4 events. Top 3 in all grades will be celebrated.
  • Enter online or at the event by choosing your course, as usual for Auckland events.
  • You will be automatically assigned to the most appropriate grade for the course you have entered. See table below.
  • Some very competitive orienteers may choose to "run up" a course from that of their typical age grade. An example: Someone who is eligible for the M14 grade (which is on the Orange Long course) may choose to enter the Red 3 course and will score points in the M16 grade.
  • Some more casual orienteers may choose to "run down" a course from that of their typical age grade. They will score points in the open grade for that course.
