Details
What a brilliant way to start orienteering in Sheffield for 2024. A beautiful day, beautiful gardens, great courses planned by James Bryant and hundreds of you turned up and were looked after by all our brilliant volunteers. A big thank you of course to the staff at the Gardens and the council and university for giving us permission. A few stats for you: 423 runs, 850km covered, 151 hours total running and 7186 controls punched (plus a few extra!).
Results and splits are available on the links above (you may notice a few n/c - this stands for non-competitive and is generally for a second run by someone on the same course). Schools team results are below, individual results are on the 'Other' link above. League standings will be updated in a couple of days once results are finalised. If you spot any problems
