Through the generosity of our landowners, event sponsors, and grant donors, as well as the hard work and dedication of many enthusiastic volunteers, we are pleased to offer you four days of exciting championship level orienteering across four disciplines, featuring some of the best terrain Canterbury and Otago have to offer. Whether you are an elite competitor, a casual participant, or an interested spectator – we hope you will enjoy the atmosphere of a fun and action-packed four days. In particular, we would like to extend a special welcome to those that have made an extra effort to come to this event from distant places in New Zealand and overseas. To those who may be newer to the sport – while the ‘Nationals’ is a time for our best competitors to shine, we also like to think that people of every level of experience, ability, and age will get great enjoyment and value from their time here. We look forward to hearing about the contests that will undoubtedly unfold over the carnival, and more importantly witness the rekindling of established friendships and the development of new ones as you mix with competitors from near and afar. Good luck and see you out there! Jan Harrison Tane Cambridge Event Coordinator President, Peninsula and Plains Orienteers Maerewhenua Venue for the New Zealand Middle Distance Championships 1 2019 New Zealand Orienteering Championships - Programme Kia ora and welcome to all competitors, coaches, supporters and officials taking part in the 2019 New Zealand Orienteering Championships. It is a pleasure to host teams and individuals competing from across the New Zealand, and I am pleased to also welcome our overseas entrants. The orienteering championships are a great opportunity for you all to come together to compete and to have fun. And what better place than in our wonderful Waitaki District! I know that you will get off the beaten track when you are competing, so I hope you get the opportunity to explore some of the 'beaten track' areas as well, taking in our wonderful wildlife, built heritage and beautiful scenery! And by the end of the competition I trust you will leave Waitaki with new friends and lasting memories. Best wishes for your success and a great time.
