Junior Training Camp
Nillumbik Emus is one of the larger and more active orienteering clubs in Victoria. We are affiliated with the Orienteering Victoria and take our turn to organise bush, urban park, and mountain bike events.
We welcome individuals and families, keen competitors and people who simply enjoy the challenge of improving their fitness and navigational skills. Members also enjoy other activities including regular events staged by Rogaining Victoria
Bush Orienteering is much more than a trail run. There is no marked route. The aim is to locate control points using a map and compass for navigation. Participants navigate cross country choosing their own route and independent of other competitors. The key is concentration and the ability to make quick decisions while moving as fast as you can. It’s not just for runners, many people walk or jog, with courses available for everyone regardless of fitness or age. It’s also okay to go with a partner or in a small group.
Explore local parks and streets with a map while getting some fresh air. Park and Street Orienteering is a fun, social way to give your body and mind a great workout. Park and Street Orienteering is enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities, from toddlers to eighty-somethings, from elite athletes to social strollers. Be as competitive or as casual as you like. Walk or run; compete individually or in a group. Events are held all over Melbourne, all year round.
Combine the fun and excitement of a mountain bike ride with map reading, route choice and the buzz of competition – come and try Mountain Bike Orienteering. Using specially prepared maps, riders navigate a network of tracks to controls. Riders choose the course that suits their fitness and ability and the route they take on their course.
