Oceania 2019 – Long and Middle Distance Championships

Oceania 2019 culminates in Victoria on the 5 &6 October 2019 with the Oceania Long and Middle Distance Championships. Planning has commenced with the Oceania Long Championships being held in the Wangaratta region, and the Oceania Middle Championships near Beechworth.

Be prepared  for some classic Victorian terrain!

Further details on these two Victorian events will be posted here over the coming months.

But don’t let your 2019 Oceania Road Trip end in Wangaratta – continue your orienteering journey down the Hume, and be part of the first ever Melbourne City Race.  Three days – three races – discover Melbourne from a new point of view!
