The fourth round of the 2024 National League, supported by Wildfire Sports and Trek, concluded yesterday. This race was a relay held on the Awoonga map north of Canberra near the southern end of Lake George. Classic spur gully terrain with some interesting route choices was on offer.
In the Senior Women’s division first place was taken out by the Canberra Cockatoos by a comfortable 20-minute margin from the Victoria Viking and the Tassie Foresters.
In the Senior Men’s division in was the NSW Stingers who had a good win ahead of 2 teams from the Canberra Cockatoos. The Tassie Foresters were 4th team across the line and thus 3rd in the team competition.
In both the Junior Women’s and Junior Men’s division it was a quinella by the NSW Stingers to complete a great day out for the Stingers. Their Junior Women’s team had a solid win over the Canberra Cockatoos and the Victoria Vikings. Their Junior Men’s team had a resounding victory over the Canberra Cockatoos with other teams not completing the course.
The National League team competition now takes a break until the Australian Championships week while our national teams head off to Europe for the World Championships, Junior World Championships and University World Championships over the European summer.
Orienteering Australia extends a sincere thank you to the organising team for putting on a great relay event and to Orienteering ACT for hosting a super weekend of racing.

Our Vision
The International Orienteering Federation´s goals regarding the organisation of this annual event are as follows:
Increasing the visibility and accessibility of orienteering to young people, increasing the number of participants both in the schools’ activities, as well and in the clubs’ activities in all countries of National Federations, helping teachers to implement orienteering in a fun and educational way and to get more new countries to take part in orienteering.
One of our clubs - Southern Highlands Orienteers has featured on the WOW website last week see article link below:
