Entry is now subject to the availability of pre-printed maps for each course. And entry is available up until 11:30 on the day of the event.
Note that you can only amend your entry up until midday Saturday - get your SEOUL category right!
Courses start in Stoke Park and visit adjacent residential housing areas, parks and community facilities. Longer courses visit busier pedestrian areas, which are indicated in a darker brown on the map (see below); they also have surprisingly testing climbs.
The normal urban courses are offered {age class requirements for Urban League entry}: Open {age 16+ on 24/10/21}, Young Juniors {12-}, Juniors {16-}, Vets {40+}, SuperVets {55+}, UltraVets {65+}, HyperVets {75+}
Please note that entrants under the age of 16 on the day of the race may only enter the junior courses.
If you want to enter a course you are not eligible for (in terms of SEOUL category) please use the "Course n Out of class" category (CnO), eg an M21 on any course except Course 1. (This is for 'running down'; note you can 'run up'.)

COVID-19
Whilst restrictions have been lifted, COVID is very much still in circulation and we encourage a continued responsible approach to orienteering events. People have different risk tolerances and we like to be mindful of, and to respect, others' personal choices as normality returns.
Please do not attend if you or a member of your household has COVID-19 symptoms, if you have been asked to isolate by NHS Test and Trace, or if you are required to quarantine having been on holiday.
Please make yourself aware of and abide by the British Orienteering Participant Code of Conduct (revised August 2021).
Junior Courses
For the Women/Men's Junior course (M/W16-) it has been necessary to use two areas with some dead running between them, which is why the course is longer than usual. The course also has a timed-out road crossing. Some of the course crosses roads in a housing estate, traffic is generally slow-moving and not busy.
The Young Juniors' (M/W12-) course stays in Stoke Park (traffic-free).
Please contact the organiser if you have concerns about traffic.
Travel to the event
There are 2 railway stations in Guildford. The event centre is at W3W ///blast.dairy.impose about a 1.5 mile walk from the mainline station and 0.5 miles from the smaller London Road station.
Car Parking (there is no organised parking)
The Park and Ride car park by the Spectrum Leisure Centre is the most convenient place to leave your car (free). On Sundays there is quite a lot of free parking on the streets of Guildford near Stoke Park which is where the event starts and finishes. Guildford College also has a parking area open (free) to the public on Sundays (off the mini roundabout where Recreation Road meets Stoke Road).
Nor are there organised toilets
There are public toilets in Stoke Park Gardens at W3W ///turns.straw.door (and the Spectrum Leisure Centre has toilets for its users).
Medical conditions
Competitors take part at their own risk. If you have an existing Medical Condition of which the Organisers should be aware, please complete a Medical Form which can be downloaded from the British Orienteering website and hand in at Download/Enquiries in a sealed envelope marked with your name and "Confidential Medical Form for GO 24/10/21 event only". This will be opened only if you require medical treatment and are not conscious. It will be destroyed at the end of the event.
Refund Policy
This event is currently permitted under the BOF Covid-19 guidance. If for some reason this changes we will do our utmost to postpone to a date within the following weeks; if you inform us that you are unable to attend on that date you will get a credit for the full value you have paid against a future GO event, or you can request a refund. If we cannot hold the event on a postponed date and we have to cancel you will also get a credit for the full value you have paid against a future GO event, or you can request a refund.
