NOTES

The AWOC MTBO Champs will feature a different format this year, with shorter courses and off-track riding at 9 Mile Reserve, Ettamogah (just north of Albury).

Foot courses will also be available on the day!

NOTES:

  1. Entry is open to everyone but you must be an AWOC member to be eligible for Club Championship honours.

Terrain

A compact area mostly used for foot orienteering but featuring a mix of gravel vehicle tracks and single track.  Generally open rideable/runnable forest with a section of open grassland in the south.

Courses

This will be different to most other MTBO events as you will need to navigate to traditional foot orienteering features such as boulders, gullies etc. Options may include longer track legs or shorter cross country routes. The grass is currently fairly short. Control descriptions provided.
