This is the final event in a series of four summer evening O Events that MVOC are organising.
These events are a great introduction to orienteering for runners of all abilities and a good opportunity to get out and about midweek for a bit of training.
For the experienced: 1-hour score,
For beginners/newcomers a simpler ~3km linear course.
Registration will be located at a pub which will also offer food - a great opportunity to meet your fellow competitors afterwards and chat about the course.
Online entries close 8am on the day of the event but please get entries in early for map printing purposes.
