Orienteering - "The ultimate outdoor adventure challenge FOR ALL AGES"
EXCITING ORIENTEERING
Orienteering is an outdoor adventure activity, which involves finding your way around a course in the terrain using a detailed map and some common sense.
Experience the excitement of finding control markers in the middle of forests, up hills, down valleys and along rivers.
The activity can be enjoyed by adults and children - old and young - fit or unfit. As you set your own pace walking or running - it is ideal recreation for individuals or groups. Families are welcome to try Orienteering, going round the course together in a group.
WHY JOIN A CLUB ?
Joining an Orienteering Club like RACO gives you access to emailed event information, results and invites to a number of special events throughout the year. As a Club member, you are eligible to score points in the two Gauteng Performance Logs, with a further incentive to win age category prizes at the end of each Series. There is also a reduced entry fee for Club participants at every event. Become part of the RACO family, in our specially designed O' kit.....club coloured shirts, that are cool and hardy for the roughest conditions ! Family membership is a mere R350 per year !
