Claro is pleased to invite you to our Middle Distance event at Brimham Rocks.

Brimham Rocks is one of our premier areas where you will enjoy exceptional orienteering. The combination of the amazing rock formations, intricate contours and beautiful birch woodland will keep you thinking all the way round your course.

This event is part of the YHOA Superleague. Please see the note under Course Details about which course to enter for your age class.

Pre-entries preferred by Sunday 1 February 2026 to guarantee a map on your chosen course.

Late entries will be available at a supplement up to Thurs 5 February subject to map availability.

Entries on the day available subject to remaining map availability.

Courses

Yorkshire Superleague
This event is a counter for the Yorkshire Superleague. Due to the unique nature of Brimham, we want to encourage everybody to pick the course which best matches their appetite for physical and technical challenge. To score points without penalties, simply choose any course of the usual technical difficulty for your age class. See full YHOA Superleague rules here.

M16/W16 to M90/W90 – any TD5 course.
M12/W12, M14/W14** – any course TD3 or above.
M10/W10 – any course TD2 or above.
** Note – there is no Light Green so if this is your normal course we recommend you choose between a simpler Orange, a simpler but longer Red, or the shorter but more technically challenging Short Green or Very Short Green.

Black 4.8km 250m climb
Full technical and physical challenge. Gaffled.
*Please make sure your SI-card can cope - older ones (e.g. red!) cannot as this course has 37 controls!
Gaffled means that 'butterfly loops' will be used to split the field up more: everybody does the same orienteering, but some of the legs in a different order!
