Welcome to Harlequins Orienteering Club’s website. We are based in the West Midlands of England and our ‘catchment’ covers Birmingham, the Black Country, Worcestershire and parts of Shropshire and Herefordshire.
If you are new to orienteering, take a look at our New to Orienteering page for hints and tips and check out our Birmingham based Beginners and Families events.
Worcester City Urban, Sunday 1st September
An exciting new area for orienteering including historical landmarks, the main city centre, canals and the University.
This event forms part of the UK Urban League. The full range of urban courses will be on offer including two explorer courses for newcomers or those wanting a less competitive run are available, as well as an accessibility course.
The Explorer course visits some of the city’s points of interest in a loop of around 5km. The Family Explorer is shorter and suitable for groups with younger families to get a taster of orienteering in an urban environment. Entries opening soon on Fabian 4
Why not make a weekend of it in the West Midlands? Our neighbours NGOC have a UKUL in Stroud on the Saturday.
Next orienteering events:
Summer Series- 8th August, Walton Hill
