Sunday marked Western and Hills Orienteers Turkey Trot for 2011. The Turkey Trot is a multi-map event, with all three courses involving a map swap along the way. This year the course started and finished at Castle Hill showground, with the showground providing a sweet sprint in and around the maze of buildings in the last kilometre before the finish! The weather was great and so was the course! Congratulations to all the Bennelong Orienteers who participated! Read on to see the long course route and club member results!
