A permanent orienteering course is a fixed orienteering course available for anyone to try or practice orienteering at any time of the year.

To visit a permanent course you will need to get a copy of the permanent course map and check any access requirements for the location. The permanent courses are usually designed for beginners, families, youth and school groups and anyone else who is interested. They can also include options for more experienced orienteers.

Permanent orienteering courses are great for:

• exploring, fun and exercise
• introducing orienteering
• school/group activities
• training
• visiting or travelling orienteers

In Auckland we have a number of MapRunF courses that are permanently available. These are available here under Training using MapRunF.
