Family Friendly Orienteering
This event will be a fun introduction to orienteering. Duration 1hr 30mins.
Orienteering is an exciting and challenging sport that combines running with navigation. The aim is to navigate between marked points on a map at different levels of difficulty to suit your ability and age. Orienteering will bring you to exciting new places throughout Ireland that include forests, open hillside, parkland, and urban areas. You can take part and walk the course to simply enjoy the surroundings. Orienteering suits all ages and fitness levels. You can choose to run, jog, or walk around an orienteering course. You can choose to do a course by yourself, with family members, or with friends.
You do not need any special equipment to try orienteering. Wear comfortable clothing and footwear suitable for being outdoors. Choose your clothes based on if you want to walk, jog, or run. When the orienteering event is taking place in the woods wear leggings or long trousers for prevention of ticks. You may get a bit wet and mucky, so consider bringing a change of shoes and clothes. Please also bring a drink to leave in the car.
