EVENT POSTPONED
This event has unfortunately been postponed due to the worsening situation and the inherent risks of hosting sprint style events - which are as much about the perception of the sport as the actual health risks.
Watch out for news of a re-scheduled event.
Resolution Sprint 2021
Start the New Year as you mean to go on - by going orienteering!
This is a low-key event on 1st January - the focus is on good maps, good courses, and bare-bones organisation.
COVID-19
It is up to you to check the latest Scottish Orienteering Association Guidance to decide whether you can take part.
If it is not possible to hold the event as planned, we will try to re-schedule to a later date. If that is not possible we will refund entries, minus any administration fees from the entry website.
It is likely that guidance will be along the following lines:
  • If you're displaying one or more Covid-19 symptoms you must not attend.
  • If you are in Covid-19 quarantine you must not attend.
  • People in higher risk categories as set out by the government should be aware that attending places you at increased risk.
  • The 2-metre rule applies at all times, including at controls, so please move away from controls as soon as you have punched. Please also maintain distancing on the route between parking and Start/Finish.
  • Please keep young children with you at all times.
  • You need to turn up for your starts on time. There is minimal room for rescheduling late starters, and you may have to wait to get an available start slot.
  • Please do not congregate at the start/finish/car park.
  • By taking part you agree to British Orienteering code of conduct (see https://www.britishorienteering.org.uk/COVID19_Safe_Orienteering)
