Newcomers: Orienteering is an exciting adventure sport for all ages. If you are new to orienteering you are very welcome to attend this event.
This event is an 'urban' event - so the courses are round the streets and parkland in Bracknell rather than our normal forest events.
When you arrive please come along to enquiries and we will help you get started. You can compete alone or in a small group e.g. family. Inexperienced juniors must be accompanied by an adult. If you wish to go round together in a group, you only need to make one entry on RaceSignUp.

Orienteering involves navigating a course on a special orienteering map. Along the way there are a number of control points which you ‘punch’ using your electronic SI dibber (chip). Many orienteers own their own dibbers but they are also available for hire.


The organiser will be happy to answer any questions you might have about the event. Please contact events@bko.org.uk
