| Fixture Format | ⏰ A score event is different to a normal cross country orienteering event in that, there are a number of controls which you can visit in any order you wish within a set time. Controls may be worth different values and it is very unlikely that you will be able to visit them all. So, you will need to plan your best route to get back before the set time. Lateness back will bring point penalties.
If you are fairly new to orienteering, don’t let the sound of club championship put you off – there are 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). 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. Note: membership renewal is due on 1st January! |
| Entry | Entries close Midnight, Sunday 23 January

| Price | For indicative pricing see the “prices” page. If entry is by SI Entries, the entries page will give the definitive prices. |
