Competition

Below you will find details on the various events & competitions LOG put on:

LOG Summer Series

Our summer league that runs from April till August. Events are held every other week on a Thursday evening. Usually incorporates 9-10 events with your best 5 to count.

More details at www.summerseris.logonline.org.uk

Lincoln Limp

Entry to the Limp is automatic, just turn up to any District event (usually at an East Midlands or HALO area) and run the colour coded course that’s suited to your ability. You are then scored on your time compared with the average of the top 3 on your course. Your best 5 scores go towards your Limp total score.

Club Training

Held every other Thursday outside of the Summer & Winter Series. These sessions will focus on various techniques such as warming up, compass work, collecting features, attack points, fitness and stamina. If you would like us to focus on a set area one week please let the coaches know and they will try to accommodate your request. Sessions cost £1 per person.

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

From November 2008 we hope to run a series of 6 events on an alternative Saturday mornings. Scoring would be on your best 4 of 6 events.

 
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.
