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 2026 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 2026.
Events to be included for 2026:
As well as the events in the table below, North Gloucestershire Orienteering Club are staging two Welsh League races this year.
The first is on the sand-dunes at Merthyr Mawr near Bridgend on Saturday 14th March 2026 alongside the BUCS individual race. Go to the NGOC web-page for further details. Entries are now open at
The second event is at Clydach Terrace near Brynmawr on Sunday 5th July 2026. Again, look out for details on the NGOC web-page.
