Details
We seem to be hitting the wet weather weekends for our Saturday Series so far this year. Well done to everyone for getting out there. Apologies to anyone out on Orange or Blue early on when we had the wrong code on a box (my fault!). Well done to Anna (W14) for planning (ably assisted by the rest of her family when they weren't getting covid...). Of course a huge thank you to all our helpers sorry many of you got so wet. Thank you as well to the staff at the Centre in the Park for accomodating us.
Results and splits are available on the links above, individual schools results are on the 'other' link and team results are below. Tough going for those of you on the Orange with British team member Charlotte Ward using it as a 'warm up...'

Information
This is the 5th race in the 2021/22 Saturday Series of events aimed at introducing adult and junior newcomers to orienteering and includes the very popular SFSS schools league. Alongside the white to light green courses, there are Short Green and Blue urban courses for adults using both the park and the surrounding intricate housing estates.
Location
Norfolk Park is close to the centre of Sheffield. We will be based at the Centre in the Park (here). Nearest postcode S2 2PL, What3words: fever.claims.analogy
There is a car park off Guildford Avenue however there is only space for about 20 cars. There are plenty of residential roads nearby but please park considerately. By Tram the nearest tram stop is Arbourthorne Road. It is a five minute walk from the tram stop to the Centre in the Park. Registration will be in the centre with the start and finish adjacent. The centre has toilets and a fab cafe.
Timings
Registration for the events will open at 12:30pm and you can start any time from 12:30pm – 3pm on white, yellow and orange or up until 2.30pm on light green, green and blue. . All courses close at 3:30pm at which time we will start to collect controls so please make sure you start early enough to complete your course in time.
Schools Event
Running alongside the public event is an event in the SFSS Orienteering League for both Primary and Secondary pupils. Entry to the schools event is free if your school is part of the SFSS and you are in Y3 or above. Information about the SFSS Orienteering League is here
Costs
Adults £5, SYO members £4
Children £2 (Free for the first run if you are in Y3 or above and your schools is in the SFSS)
Any additional courses will cost an additional £1 (Or £2 if your previous run was free)
If you would like to go around in a group you would just pay for one entry, plus £1 for each extra map.
Entries
All courses are entry on the day. You just have to turn up, pick a course and fill in an entry form. There will be people on hand to help you if you have any questions.
If you ran one of the previous schools events in the series then you should have completed an entry form an been given a number. With the number we are able to add you into the results system much quicker.
Facilities
A nice warm registration area, lovely loos, a fab cafe and a great children's playground!
Courses
Courses white to orange remain within the park while light green, green and blue extend to the surrounding urban area.
If you complete a course and there is still time you are welcome to try another.
See below for details on the courses on offer.
| Course | School Years | Distance | Technical Level | Who is it for? |
| White | Y4,5 |
1.3km |
1 | The easiest course and a great place for children to start. The course is entirely on paths and each time you have to make a decision - which path to take, there will be a control point. |
| Yellow | Y6,7 | 1.6km 55m |
2 |
The next step up and a good place for teenagers etc. to start. The course will use paths but also other line features - Fences, streams etc. Because of the park setting there will be some controls that do not follow line feature. Instead they will be on a point feature (e.g. a tree) but close by. By turning the map so that it matches the ground you will be able to see the next control to go to. |
| Orange | Y8,9 | 2.5km 80m |
3 |
Harder still, the Orange course introduces:
|
| Light green | Y10+ | 2.9km 100m |
4 |
Harder than the Orange, this course will also go outside of the park and will cross minor roads. It is only suitable for secondary aged children or older. |
|
Green |
Age 16+ | 3.6km 125m |
4 |
A course which uses both the park and surrounding urban areas. It is as technically hard as we can make it given the area. Over 16s only due to road crossings. Although a large part of this and the Blue course are urban we would advise using studded shoes as there are still plenty of grassy slopes to negotiate |
| Blue | Age 16+ |
4.9km |
4 |
As for the Short Green but longer and hillier... |
Clothing, Equipment & Safety
Shoes with good grips are important on all courses. Those competing on orange courses and above should wear full leg cover. White, yellow and orange courses remain in the park. Children can be shadowed or can take part in pairs. Only secondary aged children can do the light green course as it crosses minor roads.
Only 16 + on green and blue due to road crossings. Both Green and Blue courses encounter a busy road with tram tracks - this road is out of bounds and may only be crossed via bridges or underpasses. Please take care crossing all roads. Studded shoes advised for blue & green due to the prevalence of steep grassy slopes!
COVID Guidance for competitors & volunteers
You must not take part in any form of orienteering if you have tested positive for covid, have Covid symptoms or have been asked to self-isolate. Please be super courteous to any members of the public that you come across before, during or after the event and try to maintain social distancing.
Safety & risk
A comprehensive risk assessment will have been carried out by the organiser, but participants take part at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety during the event. If a competitor has a pre-existing medical condition that they think should be declared, please complete a medical form at enquiries. The sealed envelope will only be opened in an emergency.
Photography
SYO has an agreed policy on the taking of photographs at events, based on national guidance. This provides a sensible balance between the benefits and risks associated with the taking and use of images. If you are unsure about acceptable practice, please speak to the event organiser. Read our photography policy.
Privacy
When entering our events your personal details (name, gender, age class & club) will appear in the results section of this website. Read our privacy policy to see how we look after your personal data.
Venue
Norfolk Heritage Park is a 28 hectare park with a long history, as it is one of the oldest public parks in the country. From 1999 to 2005 the park has been regenerated through a £3.6 million restoration project. New visitor facilities have been constructed, including the Centre in the Park, a multi-purpose community building. The park landscape has been restored to its original Victorian character.
From an orienteering perspective its interest is largely in the woodlands that cover about 25% of the park and the urban surrounds which are currently undergoing re-development. There is a permanent course, maps can be downloaded from the Friends of Norfolk Park website.
