Welsh League

Events are open to everyone - come and enjoy our sand dunes, spoil tips, open fell and delightful woodland!

The events that count towards the League are normally all Welsh Regional and National events. These will be notified by the League Co-ordinator on this website at the earliest opportunity each year.

For 2023 your best 5 scores from all 7 events, count towards your score.

Categories for prizes will be based on 2023 age class. Eligibility for any prize is restricted to members of the Welsh Orienteering Association (either directly through a Welsh club, or with the association as an “expat”) - this will be cross-referenced in October 2023.
