The price you pay is based on your age in the event year, rather than the class you enter. So if you turn 21 in 2025, you would pay the senior rate, for example. You can pay with a credit card or New Zealand bank deposit via EnterO at the time of making your entry.
Your entry fee does not include any form of personal insurance, including medical or travel insurance. Please read our disclaimer for more details.
| Equipment hire | Price per event |

| SportIdent Active Card | $5 |
You will need a SportIdent Active Card (SIAC) to enter all Oceania 2025 events. This is an IOF requirement to ensure fair competition. If you don’t have your own SIAC you can rent one from us when you make your entry. Read more about this.

Entries and shirt orders have now closed. If you missed out, we will have a few extras for sale at Competitor Services at the Oceania events. But they won’t last long!
Early entries
We had four awesome spot prizes for early entries, but they’ve all been won. Sorry!
We’ll have more spot prizes at the events so make sure to hang around for prize-giving on each day.
Changes
If you need to make changes to your entry, please contact us as soon as possible. As a last resort, SI card numbers can be changed at the event in person at the registration desk (bring your new SI card to the desk) at least an hour before first starts for that day.
Refunds
Partial refunds are available until close of entries, as follows:
| From | Until | Available refund |
|---|---|---|
| Entries open | Friday 29th November 2024 | 90% of your entry fee |
| Saturday 30th November 2024 | Friday 3rd January 2025 | 75% of your entry fee |
| Saturday 4th January 2025 | Event ends | No refund |
In the unlikely event that Oceania 2025 is cancelled due to extreme weather or other factors outside of our control, we will endeavour to refund as much of all entry fees as possible, taking into account our sunk costs. Please see our disclaimer for full terms and conditions.
Late entries
Requests for new entries after the closing date of Friday January 3rd 2025 will only be accepted at the discretion of the organiser, and if accepted will attract a late fee of an additional 25% of the relevant entry rate. So give yourself plenty of time to enter and avoid the hassle.

Other notes
- To ensure fairness, your start time in an event will be determined by the class you decide to enter. Specific start time requests can only be considered for parents of young children who may need split starts, and event officials including volunteers. This policy is in accordance with the ONZ Foot Orienteering rules (rule 12.9).
