Help celebrate SYO's 50th anniversary with the Round Sheffield Orienteer!
Following the route of the 15-mile Round-Sheffield walk (see route here), the Round Sheffield Orienteer comprises of several orienteering course segments. Complete the segments all in one go or over several sessions between 9th July & 31st August. Results and timing will be via the Maprun app. Anyone can tkae part at a time and pace convenient to you.
Join us on Saturday 9th July 12.30-3pm for launch day. This will be a great chance to collect your map (£2) and find out how it works. You can even have a go at the Porter Valley segment. We hope a number of runners will take on the challenge of completing the RSO in one go on 9th July with the aim of finishing between 1 & 3pm in the park so we can cheer them in. Maps will be available in advance for those wishing to partake in this challenge!
A variety of prizes will be awarded following the culmination of the competition on 31st August (more details to follow).
