LVO are hosting both the NI Sprint Championships and the NI Middle Championships on the same day. Anyone can take part, but you need to be a present member of NIOA to be eligible for a prize.

There will be a planned break between the two events.
Entry Entries close Midnight, Sunday 30 May
Price For indicative pricing see the “prices” page. If entry is by SI Entries, the entries page will give the definitive prices.
Courses If you wish to run competitively in the NI Championship you must:

  • be a current member of a NI Orienteering club,
  • run unaccompanied
  • enter the course relating to your age class or “run-up”. You cannot change class after entries close and still qualify for NI Champs.

Note that anyone who has not passed their 16th birthday on the day of the event must enter a junior class.

Despite the “Championship” title, sprint orienteering is by definition at maximum Technical Difficulty 3 (Orange standard), with 12s and under at TD2 (Yellow). Novices should therefore still be able to successfully complete the course appropriate for their age class.

The NI Sprint Championships has the following classes:
