New to Orienteering?
Orienteering is an exciting adventure sport suitable for all ages and fitness levels. It combines map reading and running. Competitors have to find their way between a series of checkpoints, called controls, as quickly as possible. There’s no set route between the controls, so you have to decide which way to go and then find your way there without getting lost.

SMILES cancelled
With zero interest from either STAG Members or from those who participated in the Easter Micro'O' sessions the Saturday Monthly Introductory Local Sessions have been cancelled.
Publicising what we offer has always proved challenging and a rethink is again required.

ORIENTEERINGLASGOW - Glasgow's Permanent Course NetworkUpdated 22nd December 2024.
Following a full review, there are no current plans to either repair or extend the network of courses. A lack of support/interest to refund the necessary repairs added to the real difficulty of how to make the maps accessible to the general public have influenced this decision.
