Following on from the successful event in 2007, the event is once again back in 2008.

The event features the famous "Katoa Po" Night Relays.

Taupo
2/2 - Middle Distance, Airport
This event is on some extremely complex Taupo gullies and is the first part of a chasing start.
2/2 - Katoa Po - Night Relays, Tukairangi
The Night Relays have been an annual occurance with this being the 28th event. They feature either 5 or 7 man teams that race at night. There are courses for all levels of orienteering ability, starting at white level and going right through to red level.
3/2 - Games Distance, Waihora
This event will be a chasing start, with times calculated from the Middle Distance from the Airport Map. Games Distance is an event that has an EWT of 40-60 minutes. A Games Distance event was held as part of the 2006 Waitangi Weekend.

Hamilton
4/2 - Sprint Distance, Waikato University
This event has a WRE application pending for the elite grades. The map has previously been used for the Hamilton Summer Series, but is having extensive remapping occuring to bring it to sprint standard. The map has never before been used for a large event. The map is also being extended to encompass the whole University.
5/2 - Loop Race, Kairangi
Keep an eye out for some slight refining of our loops race. We are keen to have some more action packed head-to-head racing than has occured in previous years. More details to follow!
6/2 - Multiday Distance, Aramiro
This event is the CD Champs for 2008. A beautiful forested map which was previously used for the 2004 CD Champs and the 2005 WOC Trials.

Auckland
7/2 - Auckland Summer Series, One Tree Hill
The Auckland Orienteering Club has happily scheduled one of its famous Summer Series events to fit into the Waitangi Summer Carnival. This event will be enter on the day.
9/2 - Multiday Distance, Woodhill
For elite competitors this will be a Middle Distance. For all other grades it will be a Multiday Distance, to ensure you get to enjoy that extra time in the forest! This map is currently being made as we speak.
10/2 - Multiday Distance, Stillwater
This map is being extended and may be the final use before it is felled for development.
