MDOC: Run Wild! Torkington Park 2
Saturday 17th October
Run Wild!
Release your spirit of adventure this autumn and try orienteering at Torkington Park.
Run Wild!
Ready for a new adventure? If you enjoy a challenge and love the outdoors, orienteering is for you!
Perfect for families, small groups and individuals, our newcomer events are a fun and friendly way to discover orienteering. There are two courses of differing length to choose from, you can try one — or challenge yourself to complete both!
Never tried orienteering before? No problem! Friendly volunteers will be on hand to explain how it works, offer helpful tips and answer any questions you may have.
Using an accurate, clear and easy to follow map, you’ll navigate your way around the course at your own pace, finding control markers along the way.
Whether you’re looking for a new outdoor challenge, a fun family activity or simply a chance to try something different, come along and release your spirit of adventure!
