The 2021 New Zealand Secondary Schools Orienteering Champs were held 23 to 25 July in Hawke’s Bay. The weather was brilliant, with clear skies and crisp air, and our orienteers enjoyed the challenges of the Sprint at Splash Planet in Hastings and the Long and Relay at Awapai. Check out our Facebook page for photos from the Sprint, Long, and Relay. Many thanks to Hawke’s Bay Orienteering Club for welcoming and hosting our orienteers.

We’re very proud of the CMOC orienteers who took part in NZSSOC, especially those without a great deal of experience on the farmland terrain where the Long and Relay were held. As a club, we can celebrate some great successes!
