About

Katoa Po is a Maori translation for “all night” and the event is the annual interclub night relay hosted by the Taupo Orienteering Club. The first relay was held at the end of January 1981 but nowadays is usually in March when dusk is earlier but the weather still generally good. Teams are made up of seven members, of mixed ages and abilities who contest for the Owl trophy or five members who compete in the first five legs for the Po Kerukeru trophy.

Event Location

Both of the events are on the Rangatira E map. The Event Centre is off Poihipi Road, Taupo (about 10 minutes drive from Taupo i-SITE Visitor Information Centre) signposted from top of Control Gates Hill, via Poihipi Road.
