Shipley Country Park - Sunday 2 November 2025

About this event

The Shipley Park map has been extended in recent years, and offers generally fast orienteering on historic park land. The mature horse- and sweet-chestnuts at the southern end of the map are stunning in the autumn, but beware, the area can disorientate!

There’s a café, play area and gift shop for after your run!

Parking is payable y cash or phone, cars are £3.50 for upto 3 hours, £7 for the day. Other rates can be found here.

***The Start Kite is still accepting entries (29th Oct). The sooner you enter, the more likely it is that we can guarantee your preferred choice of course! Entry on the day will be possible, while maps are still available***
