Compass Sport Cup Heat - 23rd Feb

CSC Heat

23rd February is the start of SYO's quest to retain the Compass Sport Cup for an incredible 5th year in a row at our Heat on Ilkley Moor!

For those new to the club / sport, the Compass Sport Cup is an inter-club competition for all ages. Depending on your age and gender, you are allocated a course to run and points are allocated depending on your result. The club with the highest points progresses to the final. The easiest course included in the competition is an orange.

We need as many runners as possible as even non-counters can demote our rivals' counting scores and with a few of our top runners away in Portugal, your presence this year is particularly important. We cannot take qualification for granted, particularly as AIRE will be on home terrain with a large turnout. I would particularly like to encourage those of you who haven't run for the club before to take part especially juniors who have recently graduated to Orange courses. The course you would need to run for your age class is on the event information here. 

SYO will subsidise entry fees by 50% so adults will pay £5 and juniors £2.50.

The deadline for entries is the 7th February on SYO Teams. If you haven't already, you will need to renew your British Orienteering Membership for 2025. If your name is not on the dropdown list this is likely to be why. It may take a few days to update so if you don't see your name but wish to enter please email Chris

There is also a non-competitive Yellow and Light Green course for those accompanying our team who don't wish to run their competitive course - please note that on the entry form.

As part of the entry process AIRE want a contact number for everyone as well as a next of kin/emergency contact and number so I have added those fields into the Google Form for entries.

Any questions to Chris Williamson.
