WOW!
Saturday 18th May
A local event on St Martha's Hill to celebrate World Orienteering Week!
Online entry here on Racesignup. SIAC will be enabled for the event, but only normal SI dibbers available to hire. Start times are from 10:00 - 12:00.
Please read about the car parking (below). The various car parks are not close together and to avoid travelling from one to the other if they are full, you could consider just parking at Newlands Corner and walking the 1.4 miles, if you are able to (follow the North Downs Way to St Martha's church).
Entry fees increase on Monday 13th, at which time entry becomes limited by the number of maps we will have printed - so enter early to get your choice of course.
Online entry is available up until midday on the day of the event. There will also be cash entry at the event. But this on the day entry will not open until 11:30 am (so late starts only).
You can amend your entry online until Wednesday 15th. After that please contact the Organiser for amendments.

Car Parking
There is no managed parking. There are 2 free car parks within easy walking distance in Halfpenny Lane and Guildford Lane, and one small one slightly further away up Guildford Lane where it turns into White Lane. They are of limited capacity and to try to ensure they do not get overfull, we have limited and spread out the race start times.
The car park at Newlands Corner is rather further to walk (1.4 miles) but is unlikely to fill up - W3W ///swim.boxing.door
Toilets
There are no toilets at the event (there are toilets at Newlands Corner if you choose that car park).
To Assembly area and the Start
The assembly, start, finish and download are near St Martha's church (W3W ///stored.total.bake) on top of the hill and will be signed 600m from the two nearest car parks (Halfpenny Lane and Guildford Lane). Please stay on the signed route to avoid finding any controls before you start. If you park at Newlands Corner, follow the North Downs Way (westward) for 1.4 miles to get to St Martha's church.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome
Please keep them on a lead in the assembly/start/finish areas.
Results
Please download promptly after you finish your course. Results will not be on display at the event. Final results will be published on the Guildford Orienteers website after the event.
Participant Code of Conduct
