Clever Courses on Mt Vic
- Wellington Orienteering Association
- John Randal and Lara Shepherd made the most of cleverly set courses and fine weather to win the open classes on Mt Vic today. Matt Farrar rode nearly 20min faster than any other vet man, Dave King being the best of the rest. Tom Bradshaw had some junior competition for a change. And Peter Snell put in a surprise appearance.

Westenra, Cross Regain Rogaine
- Wellington Orienteering Association
- Jill Westenra and Al Cross won back the 6hr City Safari urban rogaine title today, ahead of Bill Edwards and Tim Wilson. Amazingly John Robertson and 12-year-old Tim beat 90 other teams in the 3hr category. 370 participants enjoyed winds up to 100kph which prevented the ferry from putting in at Seatoun.

Record Safari Entry
- City Safari
- As of yesterday entries had reached 110 teams totalling 285 people - surpassing last year's figure already! Heaps of families, and at the top, orienteer Bill Edwards who regularly wins 3hr afterwork rogaines which he does for training could challenge last year's winners Andy Foster and Greg Thurlow, and Crazyman top team Al Cross and Jill Westenra.

Run No. 1653
- Heading from Mt Victoria we soon climbed to corner of Brougham & Pirie, only to immediately lose height taking a left into Hania as we headed for the Basin. Here the running and walking pack briefly converged. Ok, so we saw one another across Cambridge Tce, close enough.

Rogaine Runs from Lambton Quay
- Wellington Orienteering Association
- A really bizarre feeling starting last night's rogaine in downtown Wellington beside the pubbers, and battling the traffic lights on the outward legs. But of course Tinakori Hill and Ngaio Gorge are only minutes away. The event run out of the Norsewear shop on Lambton Quay by adventure racing "Team Norsewear" was won by Bill Edwards in spite of a fading headlamp.
