The shorter courses stay within the confines of Meersbrook Park with stunning views across Sheffield, while the green and blue courses offer an interesting mix of urban, wood and parkland terrrain encompassing Meersbrook Park and the Carr Wood area.

Running alongside the public event is the 8th event in the Sheffield Federation of School Sports (SFSS) Orienteering League for both Primary and Secondary pupils.  All school age pupils, whichever school they are at can run in the league and you don't need to sign up in advance. Entry to the schools event is free if your school is a member of the SFSS. Information about the SFSS Orienteering League is here.  It is not necessary for a teacher to be present from the school.

Children can run on their own, with a friend or with family members. Parents are very welcome to shadow their children.

Adults £5, SYO members £4
Children £2 (Free for the first run if you are in Y3 or above)
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.

Travel and parking

We will be based in the park outside Meersbrook Hall with the start and finish close by. Nearest postcode: S8 0RP. Please park considerately on the streets around the park or better still come by public transport.  Buses pass by on Chesterfield Road regularly.

Registration for courses will open at 12.30pm.  You can start any time from 12:30pm - 3pm (2.30pm for the Green and Blue courses). The courses close at 3:30pm.

Facilities

The volunteers at the Walled Garden have very kindly allowed us access to the toilets in the Walled Garden. 

The SYO juniors will be providing cakes and hot drinks to raise funds junior activities. All donations gratefully accepted.

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 have run in one of our Saturday events previously you should have been given a number. With the number we are able to add you into the results system much quicker.

Orienteering Courses Available

If you complete a course and there is still time you are welcome to try another. Adults are welcome to run whichever course they prefer.

See below for details on the courses on offer.  Distances are provisional:

Course School Years Distance Technical Level Who is it for?
White

Y4,5

1.1km 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.
Year 3 pupils compete with Y4s.
Yellow Y6,7 1.5km 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.
It will also no longer have a control everytime you need to decide where you are going. For example you may need to make a couple of turns on paths between controls
Orange Y8,9


2.2km

3

Harder still, the Orange course introduces:

  • Choosing routes - e.g. should I go round the paths to the left or right
  • Using 'Point Features' as control sites
  • Basic use of a compass
Light Green Y10, 11
3.4km

3

A little harder than the orange course, but quite a bit further!

This courfor ase is split into 2 parts with part 1 printed on one side, when you get to the last control you turn over to part 2

Green Y11, Y12 4.2km 5

Ideal for adult improvers and experienced orienteers. The courses starts in the park before heading over to the Carr wood area.  Due to road crossings over 16s only.

Blue 5.1km

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.

Venue

Meersbrook Park is about 3km south of the Sheffield city centre. Formerly part of the Meersbrook Estate, the park has retained many of its historical features, including the walled garden, and the red-bricked Meersbrook House, built in 1780 (which was home to the Ruskin Museum until 1950). Also within the park is Tudor House, one of only 3 remaining Tudor properties, and one of the oldest buildings in the city, which was built c.1500.

Longer courses will also visit the area south-west of the park, including urban areas and small areas of woodland.
