First MelbushO for 2025 at Darebin Parklands, Sunday March 16; includes RadiO

The first in the series of eight MelBushO events for 2025 will be held at Darebin Parklands on Sunday 16th March.

Darebin Parklands is rich with wildlife, and has many walking tracks and bike paths with Darebin Creek running through the middle. Small remnants of indigenous vegetation and natural rock features jut out of the creek, with olive groves and wizened mulberry trees nearby. It is a lovely place to orienteer. There are plenty of places to have a picnic after your run and some great cafes nearby.

Online entry and payment via Eventor is preferred. Entries close on Thursday 13th March however there will be entry on the day available.

There are five courses to choose from ranging from long/hard to short/easy.

Come along and enjoy orienteering in another beautiful Melbourne parkland.
