Border Liners put on orienteering events approximately once a month throughout the year, and everyone is welcome – there is no need to be a club member. Details will appear on this page as they become available. Entries will open a couple of weeks before the event and pre-entry is required for all courses apart from Novice courses (Yellow and/or Orange) which can be entered either in advance or on the day.
Other local clubs also put on events: LOC (South Lakes), NATO (Newcastle), NN (Northumberland), RR (Scottish Borders), SOLWAY (Dumfries and Galloway), SROC (North Lancashire and South Cumbria), WAROC (Central Lakes), WCOC (West Cumbria).
Events elsewhere in Britain are shown on the British Orienteering fixtures list

Safety and Risk:
– A comprehensive risk assessment is carried out for every event by the organiser.
– Runners must download even if they retire so we can be sure everyone is back and that we do not need to start a search and rescue.
– Participants take part at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety during the event.
Non-BO members and Third Party Liability Insurance:
Those who are not members of British Orienteering are covered by British Orienteering Third Party Liability insurance for all events. However they are only covered for their first three “activities” (i.e. non-competitive sessions such as training)
