Enter online usingenterO. You can also enter on the day, subject to map availability.
You will be automatically assigned to the most appropriate grade for the course you have entered. See the table below.
Some very competitive orienteers may choose to "run up" a course from that of their typical age grade. For example, someone who is eligible for the M14 grade (which is on the Orange Long course) may choose to enter the Red 3 course and will score points in the M16 grade.
Some more casual orienteers may choose to "run down" a course from that of their typical age grade. They will score points in the open grade for that course.
