Club information

AR disciplines

  • The main disciplines for AR racing are Trail running/hiking, Mountain biking, Orienteering and Paddling.
  • Currently we have no paddling facilities but are working on establishing access to paddling.

Orienteering and map reading is an integral part of our sport and a fun way to learn this is to attend a couple of orienteering events, there are sprint events (4km) and colour coded from beginner to advanced (8-10km) see http://www.roc.org.za/ and also http://www.orienteering.co.za/.
