Grove Urban Orienteering Race

Date / Time
Monday, August 29, 2016 at 10:00 a.m.
Length 4.97 miles (8.0 km)
Description

 

Try an exciting adventure race around the streets, alleys and parks of Grove.

 

An orienteering race is a staggered start run with a difference - there is no set route! For an added mental challenge, you must navigate your way around the course, between each checkpoint marked on a map. We use electronic chip timing, and we'll lend you a chip to register at each checkpoint. Come along any time between 10am and 11.30am and we'll get you started if you've not been orienteering before. Staggered starts (1min intervals) are used and you can start a course any time up to midday. Courses close at 2pm. Just £6 entry on the day for the shorter courses and £12 for the longer ones. 

 

Various courses for runners from 5k to 8k, and also junior and family courses (1-3k). Email us for more info or check out our website/Facebook page: www.tvoc.org.uk or www.facebook.com/tvoclub
