WELCOME

We're a local orienteering club based in Palmerston North, running events across the Manawatū, Horowhenua, and Whanganui regions.

Our focus is on fun, family-friendly adventures—whether it’s navigating through parks, schools, forests or farms, there’s something for everyone.

We also have access to great forest areas like Waitarere and Santoft, perfect if you’re keen to build your confidence and enjoy getting off the beaten track.

Come along, give it a go, and see where the map takes you!
