Bored? Depressed? Missing your fix of Wednesday night Orienteering? Then I have the perfect remedy for you:
Come and join us in Markethill for an evening of Orienteering around the footpaths and green spaces as part of the Markethill Festival.
And in return for my lifting your mood and getting you out; you can feel good in yourself, as its all in aid of a good cause: All proceeds will go to this year’s Festival Charities, which include the Air Ambulance and Parkinson’s UK.
Brand new map; same old fun. So come and enjoy an evening exploring virgin terrain under my tutelage.

Courses: As always, we have something for everyone:
- Long ( ~ 6.5 km ) – fancy a long run?
- Medium ( ~ 4.5 km ) – perfect for novice adults, or someone looking for a nice jog, or a longer amble.

These are the optimal distances, so you may go further!
Course Safety & Junior Restrictions:
The Short Course is free of vehicular traffic. There are no road crossings and consequently I deem it perfectly safe for all teens and above to be able to navigate on their own.
For 12’s and under, juniors need to be accompanied by an adult. Whilst there is no traffic, we are still in an urban environment and safeguarding concerns need to be taken into account as well as H & S.
Any under 16’s wishing to complete the Medium or Long Courses will need to be accompanied by an over 16.
Entry Fees ( payable on the day ):
- Juniors : £ 3.00 per map.
- Family amble’s : charged at Junior rate of £ 3.00 x no. of maps required.
- Individual Adult Run ( aged 21 & over ) £ 6.00
