Welcome to Harlequins Orienteering Club’s website. We are based in the West Midlands of England and our ‘catchment’ covers Birmingham, the Black Country, Worcestershire and parts of Shropshire and Herefordshire.

If you are new to orienteering, take a look at our New to Orienteering page for hints and tips about how to get started.


An Easter School Holiday Challenge

The Find Your Way project is based around attracting newcomers to orienteering through the use of MapRun and mobile phones. There are a number of virtual courses to be found at MapRun/UK/Find Your Way/FYW Birmingham.

Five have been selected for an Easter school holiday promotion – see the news post for more information and spread the word!


Next orienteering events:

West Midlands Relays West Midlands Schools Championships
  • 11th May, Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham
British Sprint Relay Championships
  • 22nd June, University of Birmingham

As well as events organised by HOC and other clubs our Smartphone Orienteering and Permanent Orienteering Courses offer a range of opportunities to practice your skills.

Check out the results from previous club events, and if you are a Harlequin member pop into the club forum for a chat.


We are committed to the principles of Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults and our Safeguarding page explains our policies and practice.


And as a reward for reading this far, a reminder of why we love orienteering!
