SOS - Middle Cove
SOS - Middle Cove is a Term 4 Saturday Orienteering Series event held at Glenaeon Rudolf Steiner School in Middle Cove, NSW. The program focuses on school‑ground orienteering with fast courses that thread around buildings, courtyards, stairs, and open areas, and includes weekly social relays for teams of two to four runners.
Each session uses a new map and new route choices to encourage quick decision making and practice of map skills. Course options include Warm Up, Short Line, Long Line, Score, and a weekly relay course; entrants may run multiple courses on the day. SPORTident electronic timing is used for all courses, with timing card hire available for entrants who do not own a card.
Facilities and event details note a friendly, upbeat atmosphere with coaches available and results published to show progress across the term. Parking guidance requests that participants avoid Glenroy Avenue and use the west side of Eastern Valley Way, then cross via the pedestrian passage beside the bus stop. The term finishes with a Christmas themed event and a barbecue for lunch and socialising.
Standard entry fees are listed for adults and school students, member discounts apply, a late entry fee may be charged, and a free Buddy Ticket is available for adults who accompany a young or inexperienced orienteer without a personal timing chip or map.
