3. Schools Sprint - St Peter’s Lutheran College (TBC)
Tues 30 Sept
St Peter’s Lutheran College: We are waiting for the finalisation of permission, but if granted, this map is a cracker and will be new to every Queensland Schools Runner. We haven't used it for many years, but it is exceedingly complex! Narrow paths, tight but sufficiently large campus and beautiful gardens, as you would expect from one of the most prestigious, older private schools in Brisbane.
4. Schools Long Distance - Old Hidden Vale
Wed 1 Oct
An iconic MTB location in South-East Queensland, and again, no local Schools entrant is familiar with this map, creating the ultimate level playing field for the Australian Schools Championship. Pleasant to very fast running in places but with "Green Blobs" in flatter gullies. A large number of tracks may be your friend or foe. Go Hard or Go Home on this map.
5. Schools Relay Bush - Deebing Creek
Thurs 2 Oct
A moonscape in the middle of Ipswich. One of the most peculiar maps in Brisbane with extensive erosion in the North, enough to swallow a small, unsuspecting child. We thank all our illegal 4WD buddies for carving this place up and leaving their burnt-out wrecks, creating a surreal location for orienteering. Sandy creeks make for tiring running. The map is small, the erosion deep, the green complex and the tracks everywhere. We recommend you navigate or else you might become another Deebing Creek Wreck.
