Entries close on 19 March for relay team entries.

A Postal Entry Form is available for download here.

A list of Entry Fees are available for download here.

Elite competitors (M/W18-20 and M/W21) will have a Sprint race on Day 1, a Middle race on Day 2 and a Long race on Day 3.  Entries may be restricted; those that are not ranked in UK Cup 2009 or FCC 2009 should provide evidence of eligibility to compete.  The 21E Long race is a World Ranking Event.  UK Cup and FCC races will be announced later.

Selection for elite classes - all days
Entries for the Elite classes are restricted by the available start interval.  In the event of the entry exceeding the number of available start times, selection based on UK Cup; IOF and Future Champions Cup rankings will be applied.  Athletes with doubts about their qualification should provide additional evidence of their eligibility to compete in the Elite races.  Any additional evidence should be objective and based on results/non-UK ranking.  Only information supplied in advance of the final closing date (12 March) will normally be considered.  Athletes selected out of the Elite class will automatically be placed on next available course for their age group (Men Open on Day 1).  All the later starts (1330 - 1530) on the JK Sprint Men and Women Elite classes are likely to be allocated on the basis of seeding.  Competitors who need a late start time but consider they are unlikely to be allocated one by seeding should enter Men Open.

Allocation of start times for elite classes - all days
Elite start times for Days 1 and 2 will be based on UK Cup; IOF and Future Champions Cup rankings, with top competitors starting last; competitors will not be able to request a later start time although they may request an earlier one.

In particular entrants on M/W 18/20E are asked to note that the combination of their course with M/W21E on Days 1 and 2 means that they are unlikely to be starting in the latter part of the start interval – their travel companions should only request "Late" as start preference if they are happy with a large gap between the start times of the travel group.  Start times for Day 3 will be based on reverse order from Day 2 results; i.e. with the Day 2 winner starting last

To be competitive in classes A to M all runners must be in the same club (UK or overseas), except in classes A and B where the UK Relay League Neighbouring Clubs Alliances guideline applies.

Class N, Mixed Ad Hoc, is open to teams (M and/or W) made up from members of different clubs.

For age-restricted relay classes E to L the total of the British Orienteering age classes (not the actual ages) of the entrants counts. Added together these must be equal to or greater than (classes E, F, G, H), or equal to or less than (classes J, K, L) the number stipulated for the class.

For Junior Relay classes J, K, and L all competitors must be M/W20 or below. 

For the senior classes E, F, G, and H any junior will be counted as though they were ‘running up’ as an M/W21.

Laps will be run in the order shown except for class N, Mixed Ad Hoc, which will have lap lengths jumbled up. For this class, the running order will be shown on the Team Declaration Form so that team members will be able to select the lap appropriate to them.

Colour Coded
On Days 2 and 3, the following Colour Coded courses will be offered:

White, Yellow, Orange, Long Orange and Red

IOF membership refers to membership of a National Orienteering Association that is recognised as such by the IOF.

Junior price is applicable to juniors aged under 20 on 1st January 2010.. Students are eligible for junior rate also, regardless of age class entered (may be asked to provide proof of student status).

Entries to the JK after 12 March 2010 will attract a £2 surcharge and will depend upon map availability; enter earlier to minimise the chance of disappointment.  (Colour-coded entries after 12 March will be EOD only and will depend upon map availability.)
