Cheam Street O
Tuesday 16th April
This is the final event in a series of 8 Street 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.
The Winter Street O Series will run between September and April at local venues within the Mole Valley area.
All events will take the form of a score course. Your map will show a number of controls but you don't have to visit each one. This means that there is no set course, you just visit as many controls as you can within a 60 minute limit. A 40 minute option is also available for those who feel they are unable to complete the full hour.
Start and Finish will be located in the outside area of a pub which will also offer food - a great opportunity to meet your fellow competitors afterwards and chat about the course.
Online entries close 4pm on the day of the event but please get entries in early for map printing purposes.
If the event is cancelled, a refund of your entry fee will be made after the deduction of unavoidable expenses incurred by the club.

Timing
The event will be set up on MapRun (and MapRunG for some smartwatches).

If using MapRunG, you will not need the PIN.
Our strong preference is for everyone to use MapRun, but those who do not want to or are unable to use MapRun can handwrite their answers with a pen or pencil and timing will be by a punching Start and Finish.
