LVO Club Score Championships

Anyone can enter and enjoy a run but only current LVO members can be classified as eligible/competitive for the title of Club Score Champion.

If you are fairly new to orienteering, don’t let the sound of club championship put you off – there are three different courses to choose from and you are welcome to run round as a pair or family/friendship group (although to be deemed competitive you need to enter as an individual).

⏰ Score orienteering. Many controls are placed throughout the area, each having a point value determined by its distance from the start/finish or its technical difficulty. Participants have a set time to find as many controls as they can to gain as many points as possible. There is a large points penalty for being over-time. The highest score wins (with fastest time for tie-breakers).

Sociable group / family fee where all are going round a course together – entry fee is per required number of maps – one entry = one map. There is no fee to hire an SI card if required, but lost cards are charged at £30.
