Each year, MOC and NOC combined run an Orienteer of the Year (OY) competition across all the grades and levels, per club, known as the Pelorus Challenge. This competition is not just for elite orienteers, they are for all orienteers, with points accumulate over the year for different OY events. The events encourage people to test their navigation in a variety of challenging events.
