Oughaval - Aug 2024

Leinster League 2024

The next Leinster League race take place in Oughaval Forest in Stradbally on Tuesday 21st May, with starts available from 11.00 to 13:00.

Parking is quite restricted so please carpool and follow the directions of the helpers.

The forest is in good condition, with some nice running through deciduous forest. Most undergrowth is light, heavier undergrowth is best avoided.

There are no toilet facilities on-site.

Whether you are a complete novice, a family, or a seasoned veteran, there is a course to suit:

Yellow course is designed for complete beginners - short and easy to follow (not buggy friendly!)
Red course is also designed for beginners, but is much longer (aimed at adult beginners)
Orange course is aimed at improving junior orienteers.
Light Green is where it starts to get tricky - more legs are off-track, and require compass and navigation skills
Green/Blue/Brown are all full technical difficulty (mostly off-track), just varying degrees of physical difficuly.
Short Green is like green, but with reduced physical difficulty.
