Orienteering is a challenging outdoor adventure sport that exercises both the mind and the body. The aim is to navigate in sequence between control points marked on a unique orienteering map and decide the best route to complete the course in the quickest time. It does not matter how young, old or fit you are, as you can run, walk or jog the course and progress at your own pace.

Orienteering can take place anywhere from remote forest and countryside to urban parks and school playgrounds. It’s a great sport for runners, joggers and walkers who want to improve their navigation skills or for anyone who loves the outdoors.

EBORIENTEERS

Eborienteers is the orienteering club that covers York, Selby and the north east part of North Yorkshire. We are a medium sized Club with about 150 active members. The Club organises orienteering races in a wide range of different areas from rough moorland and forest in the North York Moors, to gentler woodland in the Vale of York, as well as urban races in cities and towns such as York, Scarborough and Pickering. We have weekly Club Nights every Monday at Millthorpe School, York and every Thursday at Northern Ryedale Leisure Centre, Pickering.  Non-members are especially welcome at Club nights – details of Club Nights here.
