Entry Details
Online entries will be available via SiEntries. Online entry will close at 23:59 on Wednesday 5th November.
There is a small charge of £2 per entry.
For this price, juniors can run as many courses as they like during the session.
Adults will not be charged an entry fee when only participating with and supporting juniors but an entry fee of £2 will apply for running competitively on any course (which is encouraged).
Please complete your entry for the first course that you wish to complete on the day – if you are unsure, this can be changed on the day if necessary.
Juniors wishing to score in the league MUST run their league-scoring course first. Please see our Saturday Series rules for more information. They can then enter subsequent courses at registration before going back to the start.
For a junior running on their own to score in the League select ‘yes’ for the League option and choose your school year group and school name from the drop-down boxes.
To take part in the Adventure option as a family group or in a pair, select ‘no’ for the league question.
Individual results will be published for all participants on all courses including the Score course for experienced orienteers.
We prefer entries to be made online in advance of the event. This will avoid longer queues at the event.
Entry on the day will also be possible at each event while map stocks remain. Please bring the correct change for your entry fees.
