Welcome to OBOP Summer Nav 2023!  

Come along and enjoy these early evening Wednesday night rogaines in Tauranga and Rotorua during February and March.  Our firest events are on Wednesday 15th February.

About Summer Nav

OBOP Summer Nav is a series of 60 minutes rogaines set in local parks and streets.

In a rogaine you try and visit as many controls as you can in the time allowed, in this case 60 minutes.  You will receive a clip card when you register and you need to punch in the box which corresponds to the number on the control, proving that you have visited the control. 

When you visit registration you will also receive a map which will have the controls marked on it.  If you have never done an orienteering event before ask one of the event officials to give you some pointers.

You will be able to start within a time window.  You will be responsible for recording your start time and finish time, and we also ask you to tally up your points on the bottom of your clip card before hanging up your clip card on the results line or handing it to the event official.
 
You can do the rogaine individually, as a family, or with other friends.  
You can go as easy or hard as you like.

We will also be running an Inter Schools Competition - more details on this below.  And note the entry requirements if you are attending with groups of school children.

​Timing System

This year we will be using our SPORTident timing system to assist with the collection of times and points for results.

You will receive a SPORTident dibber (SIAC) at registration and need to enter your details on a tablet or using your own device.  Follow the instructions provided. 


If you have your own dibber we suggest you bring it on the day.

If you want to regsiter using your own device follow these instructions - Own Device Instructions.  You will need to collect your SIAC dibber first from registration.​
Schools Entries

If you are bringing a large school group (5 or more people) you must complete the attached Pre-Entry Form HERE and hand it to the event officials at registration.  
  • ​OBOP will invoice your school separately for the amounts owing.  You do not need to pay cash on the day.
  • Students will still need to come to registration to receive a SIAC dibber and self register on the tablet or their own device.

What to Bring

  • Suitable running or walking clothing and footwear.
  • Water - there will be no water provided.
