Our practical training at Karori Park saw a fantastic turnout of some 50 new and developing orienteers, with a number of members volunteering their time to coach groups around a set course. If you missed these great events and have FOMO, you can check out the maps on the events and results page of our website. Our new Constitution was accepted by members at a Special General Meeting in June. This allows us to comply with the new Incorporated Societies Act 2022, enabling Orienteering Wellington to remain registered as an incorporated society. We hope this Constitution will serve us well, but it is new to our club. If there are things that you don’t feel are working in the best interests of the club then let the Committee know, so that we can bring these to members’ attention for consideration at Annual General Meetings. Beverley Holder President Participants ready themselves for the Whitby night courses. Major events on the horizon Pokapū Regional Championships are just around the corner at Labour Weekend (25 – 7 October), hosted by Red Kiwis. A sprint will be held in Palmerston North, while the long and middle events will be at Santoft forest. Entries open soon—don’t miss this orienteering bonanza! Tūāraki (Northern) Regional Champs (8 – 9 November) will be hosted by Orienteering Bay of Plenty andTaupō Orienteering Club. Events will be near Rotorua, on the Opepe and Lake Okataina maps. Entries are open. Find out more. Our Spring Classic will be on Sunday 23 November on a new map in Waikanae. The Classic is a longstanding endurance event, the course incorporating relay loops (which competitors run solo) followed by a longer conventional course. The M40 class incorporates the Wayne Cretney Memorial that commemorates Wayne, a Wairarapa orienteer who was tragically killed in an accident in 1988 at the age of 44. All Orienteering Wellington members are invited to our End‑of‑year social on Saturday 6 December! It’s a great chance to look back on and celebrate a busy year, swap stories, and agonise over “the run that got away”. More details coming soon. 50th‑Birthday celebrations: Orienteering Wellington turns 50 next year—our golden jubilee! That’s quite a milestone, and we’ll be marking the occasion with festivities in the middle of next year. Stay tuned! Young ‘uns, young guns! Younger Orienteering Wellington members shone in Europe. Rachel Baker was part New Zealand’s Junior World Orienteering Champs team in Trentino, Italy (26 June – 3 July). She placed 65 in the sprint, 21 in the long, and 39 in the middle, and was a member of the sprint and forest relay teams that placed 42 and 15 respectively. Rachel went on to the World Orienteering Champs in Kuopio, Finland (8 – 12 July), where she brought the Women’s relay team into eighteenth position after the first leg. She also placed 38 in the middle-distance event. Jake McLellan smashed his way to seventh place at the Junior World Orienteering Champs sprint, 28 on the long and 75 for the middle event. The men’s relay team of which he was part placed 15. We’re super proud of Rachel and Jake, who performed outstandingly. Another of our young stars, Morag McLellan, was selected to represent New Zealand at the European Youth Orienteering Champs Brno, Czechia (17 – 20 July) but sadly unable to attend. And a correction… Our May newsletter featured Jake McLellan’s massive (non-orienteering) achievement of winning the Tararua Mountain Race. His win was significantly more epic than stated – a chip time of 5:07:12 (some two hours less than we gave him credit for!). Our apologies, Jake. Quiz: Which map? This may not have been your course, but do you recognise this recent map? The answer is at the bottom. Explore our permanent courses We’ve been checking our two permanent courses – on Wellington’s Waterfront and Matairangi (Mount Victoria) – are in order and that maps and plaques are current. These central city DIY courses are perfect for training, casual outings, or introducing others to orienteering. Please explore them and share them with your friends! You can download maps and instructions for permanent courses on our website. Explore permanent courses Nationals at Easter 2026 – Pack your bags for the Wairarapa At Easter 2026 (3-6 April), Orienteering Wellington is leading the charge to host the NZ Orienteering Championships (Nationals), with support from Red Kiwis, Orienteering Hutt Valley and Orienteering Wairarapa. Events will be in the Wairarapa and embargoed areas have been published on the ONZ website: · Sprint: Rathkeale College, Masterton · Middle: Rewanui Forest Park, Blairlogie (east of Masterton) · Long: Coonoor, east of Pahiatua · Relay: Riverside Farm, northwest of Masterton Nationals 2026 Nationals will likely attract more than 500 orienteers from around New Zealand and promises to be a standout event—please help make it legendary, both as a competitor and on the volunteer squad. Speaking of which….. You are key to our events! Your help at events makes all the difference—whether it’s on the computer, starts, registration, control collection, set-up, pack-down, parking or something else, we need hands on deck. Helping is a great way to meet others and don’t worry if you haven’t done a job before—we’ll show you the ropes. You don’t have to be a member to help either, and all volunteers enjoy a free run at that event. We are always looking for people who are interested in planning or controlling events. If this sounds like you then get in touch or rock on up to the desk at the next event. If you haven’t planned an event before then we’ll make sure you’re paired with someone who can help. The key thing is to allow plenty of time to realise your best possible courses. We’ve also published some basic resources specific to Orienteering Wellington events, which are a “must read” for all planners and controllers. Quiz answer The map shows part of the yellow course on the Waikawa map. Participants line up to start Waikawa. Coming events Orienteering Wellington’s coming events can be found on our Events page.
