Anyone can come and have a go at Street-O.
Things are kept pretty simple with most participants competing as individuals in either the Men's or Women's categories, (there are no age categories). Also, there is a Teams category which is great for beginners, under 16s, families or for those who just prefer to go out with friends.
Since Street-O events take place in an urban environment children under the age of 16 will need to be accompanied someone 16 or older at all times and hence be in the Teams category. (Note: Juniors (13-20) under 16 may be allowed to compete individually if an additional waiver is signed by the parent/guardian in consultation with the Series Coordinator/s.)
If you find you like Street-O and want to compete regularly you should consider joining Newcastle Orienteering Club since entry is cheaper for members.
