British Orienteering - Return to Orienteering Guidance

Following the recent announcements by the government, British Orienteering has amended the operational guidance for orienteering events in England.

The move to Step 4 on 19 July in England sees the removal of a large number of restrictions, with no set restrictions on the format or how many people can take part in sport and physical activity.

British Orienteering would like to thank all the volunteers and clubs who’ve worked hard within the previous restrictions to ensure the sport returned in a safe a manner as possible. Whilst restrictions have been lifted, COVID is very much still in circulation and we urge a continued responsible approach to running events and coach sessions. Some people will still be cautious so please be mindful to respect others personal choices as some normality returns.

The following simple overarching guidance of key considerations for participants, orienteering coaches, officials and athletes is a summary of relevant Government guidance. 

An accompanying set of FAQs contain information on specific questions, whilst Sport England has also published separate FAQs.

Please familiarise yourself with the new guidance:
