MTB Duo is Orienteering on Foot & MTB. Basically an Adventure race. Cost for this is $28 for a non-member of the Orienteering Association.
Teams are welcome and encouraged. Then if you only have one Navigator you can halve the cost also.
This next event is at Ourimbah MTB Park so the riding will be great. The running legs are on the Western side of the access road.
