Auckland Secondary School Rogaine Champs

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for getting back to me so promptly about your attendance in the event.
Please find below your teams and other gear list information. As I am not attneding the event, you will need to be super organised, and let me know if you require any of the gear on the gear list.
Race briefing will happen at 10.30am, with maps being released for planning at 10.45, and race starting at 11am. Things should be all rapped up by 1.30pm, which should see you back at school around 4pm. Please let your parents know when you get to Wellsford what time you will be home.

It would pay to spend time looking at maps of the area in the lead up to the event. They have said that the start and finish location will be different from last year, so please do not assume that it will be the same as last year. Location is Shakespear Regional Park, it is beautiful, but there are some solid hill climbs and a predator fence that you can only cross in some sections.

Gear List: 

As it is a 90minute event you may find that you don't need to take any water or food with you during the event, but that is your decision and you need to think carefully about what you will require (I will put back pack down but you may bot need to run with it). It would be worthwhile talking to someone who went last year. (Shaan, Callum, Madi, Ella, Flynn, Matt, Taylor)

Running shoes

Thermal

Towel

Plastic Bag

High Lighters and Pencil

Compass (I can supply them but you need to let me know)

Discription Holders (I can supply them but you will need to let me know)

Personal Medication- you must carry this on you all the time

Team Orienteering Shirts:  We have recently recieved funding for some orienteering shirts. There is enough for everyone to have a shirt, however I cannot garuntee that all the sizes will fit everyone, however I think it should be ok. It would be great if everyone can wear the uniform, which will be the shirt and then whatever pants you like. Girls the material that the shirts are made with is thin, so please be sensible about wearing a singlet or an appropriate sports bra. On using the shirt you are taking full responsibility for it, and you will need to wash the shirt and return it to me. The guidelines for washing the shirt are behind the tag. They are fitted shirts so please be good about wearing the correct size.
