Post date: Sep 08, 2022 8:44:29 PM

The fourth event in our Autumn league will take place on Tuesday September 13th at the Cork Showgrounds in Curraheen. 

COURSE INFO

******************

The format of this weeks courses will be a little different as both courses will start with a challenge to navigate through a mini orienteering grid exercise before embarking on your regular orienteering course.

Short Course

Will consist of a short easy training exercise followed by a normal 2.1km course and will be buggy friendly. 

Long Course

Starts with a slightly more difficult  training exercise than the short course followed by a 4.5km course on flat fields. 

When competitors are finished their course they're invited to attempt to complete the technically most difficult training exercises (short grid courses) in their own time afterwards.
