British Orienteering is supporting International Women’s Day - 8 March 2020. 

International Women's Day (IWD) provides an important moment to showcase commitment to women's equality, launch new initiatives and action, celebrate women's achievements, raise awareness, highlight gender parity gains and more.

The day is celebrated and supported globally by industry, governments, educational institutions, community groups, professional associations, women's networks, charities and non-profit bodies, the media and more.

Collectively every person and all groups can make a difference within their sphere of influence by taking concrete action to help build a more gender equal world. From small powerful grassroots gatherings to large-scale conference and events - International Women's Day is celebrated everywhere. It's a big day for inspiration and change.

As part of International Women’s Day (8 March) this year why don’t you try something new?

Orienteering is an exciting adventure sport suitable for all ages and fitness levels.  The aim is for participants to navigate their way between as series of checkpoints (controls) shown on a map.  There’s no set route, rather you find your way own way using the map.
