Notes

This is the 6th and final event in the 2024 Dublin Urban Series, a fun beginner-focused orienteering series.

There are three courses to choose from:

Short (approx 2 km) – aimed at total beginners of any age, families wanting to stroll, or those with buggies.

Medium (approx 4 km) – aimed at those fairly new to the sport, and are building on their orienteering skills.

Long (approx 6 km) – aimed at those more experienced in orienteering.

Registration and start: The start is close to the Papal Cross; registration online beforehand and entry on the day from 6 to 7 pm.

Parking : Near the Papal Cross

Public transport: Dublin Bus operates a No. 99 Bus route that travels from/to Parkgate Street with lots of bus stops along Chesterfield Avenue. Lots of other bus option, and train and tram options.

 2024 Dublin Urban Series consisted of 6 beginner fun focused orienteering events being held across the Capital on Tuesday evenings from 2nd July to 6th August.

There will also be a small amount of training provided for newcomers at these events to encourage newcomers and people who are returning to the sport to come and try it. Specific event information and contact details are available on the fixture page for each event.

There will be two more events in the Phoenix Park on the following two Tuesdays, August 13th (Magazine Fort) and 20th (Knockmaroon/Furry Glen). Similar courses of 2, 4 and 6 km, start times 6 to 7 pm, pre-entry and limited entry on the day.

SIAC contactless punching will be enabled - don't worry if you don't know what this means, it won't apply to you!

Map scale 1:1000 for all courses (1 cm = 100 metres).

Maps will be printed on waterproof paper. Control descriptions will be on the maps only.
