Explanation of Event Types
- Score – visit as many checkpoints as possible
in a set time, 30-60 minutes.
- Trail Challenge/Race – mass start race run over tracks and
trails. Course lengths: 6km and
10km. The navigation is very
straightforward and the challenge arises from choosing the fastest route
between the checkpoints. It is best
to pre-enter for these.
- Medium Race – estimated winning time of 20-30
minutes.
- Frolic – includes various lengths of courses,
with series team handicap competition.
- Loop race – mass start race with a number of different
‘loops’ which people run in a different order, so that everyone runs the
same in total by the end
- Mobile-O – pairs orienteering – one person at
base has the map and has to describe it to the runner by phone, then swap over.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO CHECK FINAL DETAILS ON THE CLUB WEBSITES.
PLEASE TELL THE EVENT ORGANISER IF YOU WILL BE COMING.
*** Some of the areas are still to be confirmed – always check the individual
club websites before the events to confirm details ***
