JK courses are pre-entered by age class (M/W10 - M/W90).

All championship class competitors must be either a member of British Orienteering or a member of an IOF affiliated Federation.

Please note that UK orienteers must be BOF members to enter (except for non-competitive courses – see below). 

Shadowing is not allowed on championship courses

Days 1 is to be a World Ranking Event (WRE) for the elite classes. Anyone entering the World Ranking courses (M/W18E, 20E and 21E on Day 1) must provide their IOF ID if they would like to receive World Ranking points. Anyone entering these classes without an IOF ID will not receive World Ranking points. IOF World Ranking IDs can be found here.

There are two dates for entry - early and late. There will be a fee increase for entering in the late period, so we encourage you to enter early.

Entry Fees: All charges for this event will be made in Pounds Sterling

(Junior / Student fees in brackets)

* Elite Trail O (Open / Open Junior / Physically Challenged / Physically Challenged Junior)
TrailO at the JK will be a PreO in urban terrain. Course length, subject to final checking, will be 1.5km with a timed AZ section for tie break. The start will be adjacent to assembly. An application for the course to be part of the British TrailO League has been made (BriTOL). The course planner is Peter Hornsby and course checker is Iain Phillips (both of LEI).

 # Non competitive courses:

• Novice Sprint - Day 1 only
• Standard TrailO - Days 1 only
  (Open / Open Junior)
  TrailO event may be co-located with the Foot O event.
• Colour coded courses - Days 2,3 only
  (White, Yellow, Orange, & Light Green)

For non competitive courses we offer pre-entry and entry on the day only while map stocks last.

Mixed punching will be enabled for all days. You do not need a SIAC dibber to compete, but they are available to hire (through the entry system) if you would like to try one.

SIAC hire is (per day you are entering): £2.50 (free to M/W18 and under).

There will be a waiting list available after the individual entries close. Entry will depend on map numbers and course loading.

Please note the following regarding start time preferences:

• Elites – Start times for all competitors on elite courses will be seeded in order of ranking (or on day 3 based on day 2 result) with the best starting last.  Start time preferences will be ignored.  Please bear this in mind if entering with other non-elites.
• Helpers –  Please provide a start time preference, which we will attempt to accommodate in conjunction with helping (e.g. if you prefer to start late we will find an early helping job, and vice versa), and provide you with an allocated start time.
• Everyone else – Indicate your start time preference. Please note: There will be no open starts. Split starts will have early and late start times. It is your responsibility to make sure you make your start time.

Neighbouring club alliances for junior classes

This applies to the following classes:

• Mini Relay
• Junior Relay (M/W40-)
• Intermediate Men (M48-)
• Intermediate Women (W48-)

Clubs from the same Association and/or geographically adjacent clubs are permitted to form combined teams (“Alliances”) for participation in the JK Relays, British Relay Championships, and British Mixed Sprint Relay, and a different alliance can be formed for each team at each event. Alliance teams are competitive and will be eligible to win trophies.

Clubs may only combine to enter “Alliance” teams if they have already entered as many complete teams as they are able to in each class.

In circumstances where combined teams are formed, clubs must pick their best runners for their own club team or teams before seeking to form an alliance to give their additional junior orienteers the opportunity to run in the competition. Any attempt by clubs to do otherwise may lead to their alliance team being declared non-competitive. The spirit of this initiative is, therefore, that clubs form teams from their own members and are encouraged to develop their own club juniors; it is not the intention for 'elite' teams to be formed.
