Daylight saving is here, the formal bush season has finished, which means... it's time for our annual summer series around the state.
That's when we turn our attention to navigating our way through some of the most scenic parks, reserves and foreshores that our clubs have mapped. Many newcomers are amazed at the views on offer and the areas they discover through our summer series.
(The Sydney Summer Series hosted Australian hockey player Rosie Malone (pictured) at Mosman on Wednesday.)
Most clubs offer a time-limit format (score or scatter courses - you choose the order in which you visit the controls).
As an example, a map from a previous event is here. The maps usually cover an area of 2km x 1km. The fastest runners will often cover 9-10km in 45 minutes, while the more social may do 2-4km.
It's up to you how competitive or social you are - Newcastle even offer a pram-walking category (see pic left).

Beginners will get coaching at the events. We hope to see you there.
