Entries open 5th Oct
The closing date for online entries is 18:00 on Friday 16th October.
However to be guaranteed a course map on waterproof paper for your chosen course you MUST pre-enter by midnight on Monday 12th October.
We will print some extra waterproof maps for late entries and entry-on-the day. After the cut-off date, if your preferred course is full (see entry limits below), contact eventadmin@esoc.org.uk and we may be able to offer you a non-waterproof version (at the same cost).
This entry system allows for individual entries, pairs and groups (who wish to go round a course together).

First time using this system? To save time when entering ESOC events, please take the time to set up a RACESIGNUP account and create profiles for all the members of the group or family you are entering. You only need to pay once you have entered all the individuals you wish to. More help with entering pairs or groups below.
If you want to run on your own with your own map and SI dibber (timing device) please enter as an Individual.
Students should tick the relevant box on the entry form to access the junior entry rate.
To enter as a pair who will share a map and timing device enter the name of the second person on the form in the Group/Pairs name box. For a pair of a senior plus a junior you can opt to put the Junior as the lead person on the entry form.
If you want to enter as a group (up to 4 persons) to go round a course together sharing a map and SI Dibber (timing device), provide the details of one person (junior or senior) and at the bottom of the form, select the number of additional people that make up the group. You can enter the name for the group on the form in the Group/Pairs name box eg The Smith Family.
Larger groups should enter as 2 groups (in 2 separate entries).
You only need to pay once you have entered all the pairs, groups or individuals you want.
The fees for individuals, pairs and groups are listed on the relevant webpage on the ESOC website and include surcharges for those who are not members of an orienteering club or, if they are members of an orienteering club, are not members of BOF.
