This coming Sunday IKO members and locals are again faced with the choice of an Illawarra Map Running event in Kiama in the morning and a River and Bay Series (RBOS) event in South Coogee late in the afternoon. Those keen enough can attend both events.

The Sunday morning event at Kiama will start between 10am and 11am, with the assembly area off Blowhole Point Rd, Kiama – just West of the Pilot’s Cottage Museum. Parking is available close by or you can catch a train/bus, ride your bike or even paddle there by kayak. Enjoy the free sausage sizzle after your run and pack your swimmers as there are two rock pools nearby that you can cool off in.  Make a day of it – Kiama is a top spot.  Details about courses available and the exact location are available at https://eventor.orienteering.asn.au/Events/Show/21600

Pre-entries are recommended but there will be the ability to enter on the day at the event. Newcomers and families are most welcome to attend, you can go individually or as a group. Club members will be on hand to introduce you to the sport and set you on your way.

Those residing closer to Sydney can rock up to the RBOS event at South Coogee for a line or score course in the afternoon. Starts are from 4pm – 5pm. After the event you can cool off in the famous Mahon Rock pool – it’s on the map – before joining the post event dinner.
