Annually the UK Orienteering League will consist of 16-26 events from January to December spread across the country. They should offer a range of competition formats and terrain types.

The competition is based around the standard age-based class structure (It will apply to Long and A classes only, but where there are Elite classes the competition will only apply to these and not the Long class in those age groups. M/W 10, 12, 14 will not be included). Where events use a different class structure, e.g. urban events, classes will be disaggregated for the purpose of the UK Orienteering League scoring. 

See Uk Orienteering League webpage for more details.

Local events are competitive but low key and in the 'localised' area, often on a Wednesday evening or a weekend morning. Try O events are local events tailored to anyone new to the sport, with coaches on hand for advice and tips. Open to all ages, abilities and fitness levels, learn to use a map and compass to navigate round short courses.

Training events are non-competitive and used for training and coaching. These are aimed at members of the club, but non-members and newcomers are also welcome. Social events are non-orienteering activities, with the annual highlight being our Awards Evening and ceilidh!

Regional events attract participants from around the local region, National events are high quality competitions that will attract people from far away, and Major events are large competitions such as a British Championships or the JK.
