A perfect day for Orienteering in the Phoenix Park.
All the better for following the Summer which we have had!

Com Moran was an excellent second on the long course (19 controls) at round one of the FIngall Scatter Series, held in the Ward River Valley, Swords.

After the long wet summer at last something to celebrate - orienteering is back. The Fingal Scatter Series in north Co Dublin is not only a great introduction to the sport but ideal for blowing off the cobwebs.
See you out there!

In the middle distance race at the World University Championships in Tartu, Gerard Butler finished 88th with a time of 70 mins 31 secs for the 6.17km course with 80m climb and 13 controls.

Good luck to Michelle Carey, who will compete in the 400m hurdles at the Beijing Olympics.

For years, we have been trying to promote orienteering, though initiatives like National O-Day and Come-and-Try-It events.
Now, through the Family Fitness Festival, organised by Athletics Ireland, a means of promoting our sport has fallen into our laps.

Want to try orienteering? A special beginner's orienteering event will be held as part of the Athletics Ireland Family Fitness Festival in Farmleigh, just off the Phoenix Park on Sunday July 27 (opens 10.30am).
