Night Nav 2014

Welcome to the homepage for NIGHT NAV, the Adventure Navigation series of races organised by the Bivouac Outdoor Southerly Storm orienteering team (this year with the help of some PAPO Juniors!). NIGHT NAV has been running since the turn of the century and has returned for another year!

NIGHT NAV events for 2014 will be held at Victoria Park, Bottle Lake and Spencerville , all on the edge of Christchurch. Competitors walk, run or bike through the forest collecting checkpoints, which are shown on the map handed out just before the start. Runners and walkers can cut across the forest, through the sanddunes...while the bikers explore the network of single tracks.
All competitors have an hour to collect as many checkpoints as posible before returning, often in a rush, to the finish. You can compete in teams or individual, its a great social adventure. Get some friends together and give it a go! Thanks to Bivouac Outdoor for helping us to keep this event going!

Registration is from 6pm with a mass start at 7pm so please make sure you turn up on time so that you don't miss the start. There will be a briefing shortly before the start when the maps will be handed out.

The events for 2014 are as follows:

  • Wed 10th Sept – Victoria Park (run only, no MTB) - Results.
  • Wed 17th Sept – Bottle Lake (run or MTB) - Results
  • Wed 24th Sept – Spencer Park (run or MTB) - Prize Giving to be held after the final event with plenty of spot prizes to give away from Bivouac, Pure and the Lolly Shop!
