Introduction

If you enjoy orienteering you can take part in events which are organised by orienteering clubs. They offer a wider range of distances and technical difficulty at various venues in the UK. Many club orienteers travel to events in other countries of the world as a novel way of having a holiday.

Low key events held by clubs mainly on Saturday afternoons or Sunday mornings. Very informal and friendly. Courses will be similar to those found on a POC.

District
|
Formerly called Colour Coded events. Run by local clubs and can be entered by anyone. Usually take place at weekends. Distances and difficulty link with the colour coding system shown elsewhere on the web site.

Formerly called Badge events. Entrants have to be members of British Orienteering (BO). The BO membership fee also includes club membership. Regional events have separate gender and age classes and sometimes include longer distances than colour coded events.
