  • The Summer Inter-firm League will kick off this Tuesday (23rd May) at Farren Forest Park. As usual, start times will be from 5.30pm - 7.30pm. For those of you who are not familiar with the league, it consists of a fun event with team (inter-firm) competition. On each Tuesday evening, there will be one course (3.5 km to 5.5 km) available with premarked maps. The league is suitable for all the family, including beginners, irrespective of fitness levels. The emphasis is on a fun evening out in the woods, although competition can be fierce between the top orienteers and runners. It is a great opportunity to get some air, get fit, go on a works outing, etc. There is no pre-entry required; just turn up on the night and if necessary, experienced people will show you the ropes!

    Inter-Firm League: Open, Female and Mixed Categories, 3 to count per team, but any number can compete, 6 events to count in the overall league. Prizes also for best individuals. So come along and bring your friends and colleagues!!
