Welsh League

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

Normally all Welsh Regional and National events count towards the League plus local events nominated by the clubs. As the clubs confirm their autumn programs more events will be added to the League.

Your best 5 results for the year will count towards your score.

Categories for prizes will be based on 2025 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 2025.
