YVOC members are ‘coming back to earth’ after a busy Easter weekend in and around Bendigo.
YVOC was the main organising club for the sprint event on Good Friday at the La Trobe University Bendigo campus. Over 400 runners from all Australian states enjoyed their run on the intricate courses around the buildings and into the nearby bush areas.
Our members were then free to compete in the 3-day competition. The club tied for second in the Australian champion club competition and 8 of our members were on the podium at the end of the weekend.
The annual Easter event moves around the country – next year is north of Lithgow in NSW – and is the best opportunity for social interaction at a major competition in the annual orienteering calendar.
