British Sprint Relay Championships 2024

Harlequins Orienteering Club (HOC) invite you to the 2024 British Mixed Sprint Relay Champs at the University of Birmingham on the evening of Saturday 22 June. First starts will be at 5pm.

Preliminary details (last update 26 Apr) are available here: 

The University was established in 1900 and has gone through several phases of expansion and redevelopment since. The campus has an intricate network of buildings with changes of level to challenge you. Notable landmarks include the world's highest freestanding clock tower and the new Green Heart open space.

This event will be open to international and solo club competitors, who may form mixed club teams.

Here is a link to a video of last year's event at Brunel University which will give you an idea of the atmosphere if you haven't been to a sprint relay before.
