Southampton Orienteering Club's Summer Series is returning this year, with five fun Saturday events from April - August. These events are a perfect introduction to orienteering for newcomers, for families looking for a day out together, for those looking to improve their orienteering skills, and for experienced orienteers too.
There are five events in SOC's 2025 Summer Series, details of which can be found below. Click on each link to find details about each event, and enter to guarantee a place on the course you would like to run.
Each event will have three courses on offer: a short (Yellow), medium (Orange) and long (Green, or as near to it as the area allows).
This year, we will be running a league for each course over the 5 events. This will be based on the 2 best scores for the Yellow and Orange courses and the best 3 for the Green course. Points will be given according to your finishing position.
Perhaps some competitors will want to move up to a more technical course at some stage, but points will not be transferable from course to course.
