A local event at Farley Heath to celebrate World Orienteering Week!
Join us to celebrate World Orienteering Week at our fun family-orientated Roman-themed orienteering event which includes not only the usual competitive range of courses, but also short junior friendly courses; a “where is the Roman centurion?” challenge and the chance to race around our special Roman temple maze.
Online entries will be open throughout (you can enter online at the event if you can get a signal). There will also be cash entry at the event. However you are advised to enter by 11 May if you want to guarantee you get the course you want as we shall be setting map printing limits after that.
SIAC will be enabled for the event, but only normal SI dibbers available to hire.
Start times are from 10:00 - 12:00.
You can amend your entry online until Friday 16th. After that please contact the Organiser for amendments.
