Orienteering England

Selection for the 2024 Interland Cup international with Belgium, the Netherlands and NE France to be held in Belgium on 24th March 2024 will be based on the following events:

It is anticipated that juniors wishing to be considered for selection should compete in at least 3 of the 5 races listed.
In keeping with the objectives of the England Selectors to use this competition to provide experience, the Junior Selectors will not consider athletes selected to run for Great Britain during 2023 in competitions such as Junior World Orienteering Championships, European Youth Orienteering Championships and Junior European Cup.
The Junior Selectors have been asked to select 3 M/W14, 3 M/W16 and 1 M/W18.
The selectors will not include juniors in ‘bottom year’ M/W14 i.e. born in 2011.

Juniors who wish to be considered for selection should run the course corresponding to their age class in 2024. Additionally, juniors should note that organisers are planning a 4 minute gap between competitors. Juniors should make sure that they follow each event organiser’s instructions when entering races.

For these events, juniors will be expected to run the following ‘colour coded’ courses;

In the event that a race, or races, are cancelled or a course is voided, the selectors will still consider competitors without the requisite number of results provided that they had entered the cancelled race(s) and that the total of achieved results plus entries for cancelled races meets or exceeds the required number of races.

Illness or Injury
All cases of illness or injury which may affect an athlete’s ability to compete fully or at all in one of the above selection races should be notified in writing to the Selectors prior to the running of that race, clearly explaining why. Write to juniorselectors@orienteeringengland.org.uk
