Your entry fee includes a special waterproof orienteering map of the woods, with your course printed on it, to keep as a souvenir, hire of a timing chip to register at each control point around your course, and a printout of your result and splits at the finish.
New to orienteering? It's a trail run (and often an off-trail run!) with a difference - an orienteering race doesn't follow a set route. Instead, you have to visit a series of checkpoints and register each one with an electronic timing chip. The checkpoints are marked by flags on the ground and maybe along paths, earth banks, streams or anywhere in the woods or around the woods. The challenge is to race between each one, choosing your own route between the checkpoints, using a special orienteering map (which you get to keep too). Why not come and give it a go?
