Nonsuch Park - summer series 2024
2024-06-13
This is the final event in a series of four summer evening 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.
For beginners/newcomers a simpler ~3km linear course.
Registration will be located at a pub which will also offer food - a great opportunity to meet your fellow competitors afterwards and chat about the course.
Online entries close 8am on the day of the event but please get entries in early for map printing purposes.
60 minute Score
Start with either Odd numbers or Evens then swap - time penalty of 30 points per minute late.
Approx 3km Linear course 3.0km
More suitable for beginners/newcomers and younger juniors
“Score” means there is no set course. Your map will show several controls, you choose which and how many to visit. You get points for each control you do visit and lose points if you take more than an hour. “Odds and evens” means you start with either odd-numbered or even numbered controls and may switch once to the other.
£2 juniors (£3 if not BOF members)
or £4 for newcomer pairs/groups/families
