Street O - Covent Garden

Immerse yourself in the vibrant heart of Covent Garden for the kickoff Street-O event of the 2026/2027 season. Organized by dedicated members of SPOC, this unique orienteering adventure challenges participants to collect points across a meticulously designed route within a bustling urban setting.
The action unfolds on September 1st, where you and your team—whether solo or in groups up to five individuals—will have exactly one hour to navigate the intricate streets and alleyways of Covent Garden. This event promises an engaging blend of strategy and agility as competitors race against time to accumulate points at various checkpoints scattered throughout this historic district.
For those new to Street-O, comprehensive guidelines are available online detailing how the scoring system works and providing insights into the series' structure for the upcoming season. Whether you're a seasoned orienteer or a curious newcomer, Covent Garden offers an ideal backdrop with its rich tapestry of historical landmarks, bustling market stalls, and hidden courtyards.
When registering, select "Individual" if you plan to compete solo, or choose "Group (2-5)" for teams running together. It's important to note that groups opting for this entry type will share a single SI card and map, streamlining the process while enhancing teamwork. However, should your group prefer individual maps, simply mix and match entries accordingly.
Participants must be aware of their liability coverage; non-members of British Orienteering are not insured under its public liability policy, meaning any accidents or damages incurred during the event would fall on the participant's own account. For added peace of mind, consider joining SLOW to gain access to this essential insurance and other benefits.
