Try an exciting adventure race around the streets, alleys and parks of Grove.

An orienteering race is a staggered start run with a difference - there is no set route! For an added mental challenge, you must navigate your way around the course, between each checkpoint marked on a map. We use electronic chip timing, and we'll lend you a chip to register at each checkpoint. Come along any time between 10am and 11.30am and we'll get you started if you've not been orienteering before. Staggered starts (1min) are used and you can start a course any time up to midday. Courses close at 2pm.

The courses will take you around the complex streets, paths, alleys and parks of Grove, near Wantage. A compass may be handy to bring, but we can always lend you one if needed.

It's great fun - there will be various courses for runners, and also junior and family courses too.

Entry on the day any time from 10am to 11.30am. Just turn up and we'll help you choose a suitable course. Race HQ and parking at Grove Rugby Club, Recreation Lane, Grove, OX12 0FL. �£6 entry on the day for seniors or groups on the shorter courses (1-4k); �£12 for the long courses (up to 8k) and �£4 for juniors. Groups just pay a single rate, i.e. not per person.
