Xmas 5-Days Orienteering 2024 - Sydney
The Xmas 5-Days is an annual orienteering carnival held between Christmas and New Year.
The atmosphere is less formal than at a State League, but each event still offers high quality courses and enjoyable terrains.
The last day finishes in enough time for you to return home, freshen up and watch the 9pm and 12pm New Year's Eve fireworks - either in person or on TV.
Welcome again to Sydney for this year’s Xmas 5-Days carnival.
We have a veritable smorgasbord of event formats for you to enjoy… and maybe take back to your clubs to have a go at putting on next year!
