Competitors can choose to run up a cla ss\, e.g. an M50 may want to run the Long course but must then compete as M Open. Conversely\, if you want to run a shorter course then select the c losest age class for that course  - but note that you will be deemed non- competitive for the class.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse\nClasses\n\n\nLong (a pprox xk\, x climb)\nM/W Open\n\n\nMedium (approx xk. xm climb)\nM/W Vet 4 5+\,  M Super Vet 55+\n\n\nShort (approx xk\, x climb)\nW Super vet 55+\, M/W Ultra vet 65+\, M/W16\n\n\n\nNote that If a M/W14 wishes to run the N I Night Champs\, they can only do so by being shadowed by an adult\, and by being therefore non-competitive. LVO has a duty to juniors and so no M /W14 can run unaccompanied i.e. run competitively at the NI Night Champs. The adult must be an experienced orienteer holding current club membershi p who is capable of shadowing the junior for the entire length of the cour se.\n\n\n\n\n\nFirst Aid and Safety\nThere will be first aid and a qualifi ed first aider available at registration.
