Orienteers organise forest fun run
Peninsula and Plains Orienteers (PAPO) will organise a forest fun run in the Bottle Lake plantation in Burwood on May 19. Auckland orienteering clubs have held fund-raising fun runs in the Woodhill forest for the last four years and they have proved most successful. Peninsula and Plains, supported by the main sponsor, Winstone, is trying to raise funds to assist the New Zealand orienteering squad to travel to the world championships in Australia in August and to help a travel fund for promising South Island orien-
teers to attend the national trials and New Zealand championships in the North Island.
The Winstone forest run at Bottle Lake will consist of two fully marked courses, one of 10km, the other of skm, over roads and tracks through open forest.
Sponsors have provided spot prizes worth $2500, the main prize being a Mount Cook return trip for two to Auckland to coincide with the Winstone marathon in November.
Entry forms are available at the main Christchurch sports shops.
