Virtual Summer Series

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic we are unable to hold normal events. However, this summer we are setting up a number of courses using the free MapRun virtual Orienteering App. This allows you to run a course at any time. All the courses are on publicly accessible parks and woodlands or urban areas which are freely accessible under current restrictions.

See the panel on the right for instructions on using MapRun. Courses are listed below - please note the following disclaimer:

Competitors take part at their own risk. These courses are not covered by British Orienteering insurance, so are at your own risk as if you were going out training on your own. Neither British Orienteering or Harlequins OC accepts any liability for your use of the course or map. Please use them safely, looking out for yourself and other members of the public who may be in the area. Also please follow the latest government advice on social distancing.

The results for the virtual courses have been consolidated so we can work out which HOC member is the virtual champion. The Bert Pardoe Handicaps are being used to give everyone a chance. The results are available

Last update 19 Oct with the final placings.

Going forward, most of these courses will continue to be available. We are also adding new courses. These are all listed with download links on the Virtual Courses page.
