Long-O series

Hi All,
With this years major competitions in mind and considering the lack of ‘classic’ distance courses on offer at Irish events, we are hoping to provide a series of Long/classic distance races this spring.

3 events are being planned at: Florencecourt, Fermanagh – Slieve Foye, Louth – Tollymore/Meelmore, Down.

There will be 2 courses available at the events, a 16km and a 12km course.
In keeping with classic orienteering tradition 1:15000 maps will be used.

The courses are open to all orienteers up for the challenge. However they are specifically aimed at improving Irish senior and junior squad members long distance skills.

A blog has been created with further information on the series
please visit The Long-O series blog for more event details.
