Dorking Street O
Tuesday 17th September
Entries are closed!
This is the first 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.
