Blue Ribbon

This is our Club Championship event, usually at a NOC event not too far away from Lincoln in December. The team captain will work out your average Mins per Km over the season and give you a handicap. Depending on your ability you will either run the Green course or the Orange course.
 
Competitors will be allocated a start time based on their handicap with the intention that everyone “Should” finish around the same time (usually 12pm). i.e if your season average is 10 mins per Km and the course is 5km you will start at 11.10am – if your season average is 5 mins per Km you will start at 11.35am
 
The winner is the first person back.
 

LOG Winter Series

Our winter league runs from October to January, with a short break over the Xmas period. Events are held every other week on a Saturday morning, with coaching offered to beginners and improvers beforehand. Usually incorporates 6 events with your best 3 to count and is based on an age related handicap system.

 
Lincoln City Race

This race, unlike most “Traditional” orienteering is ran in an urban environment, the historic heart of Lincoln City. The urban race offers many different challenges than those found in the woods; lots of narrow alley ways, complex historical sites, university grounds will challenge the most hardened of orienteers.

Lincolnshire Bomber Weekend

A joint venture between LOG & RAFO this event takes place biannually in January. We aim to provide something different from the normal orienteering event. Usually the weekend consists of a Relay on the Saturday with a Long O & Colour Coded event on the Sunday.
