2025 Munster Urban League #2
Munster Urban League #2: Cork City, Monday February 3rd
Wishing all our members and supporters a very Happy New Year. Hope everyone is looking forward to some challenging orienteering at great locations in 2025.
Cork Orienteering Club invite you to join us for our first orienteering event of 2025 on Monday February 3rd for the second event in the South West Urban Series in Cork City. The event will start in Fitzgerald's park.
All those who attended the last Urban event in Fethard town got to navigate around the charming and picturesque streets and lanes in this beautiful heritage town. You can see some photos from the day here:
At Sunday's event competitors will be navigating their way around the parks and streets of Cork City. There will be courses to suit all levels of orienteering experience as well as all ages and fitness levels.
