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 Staffordshire, Shropshire and Herefordshire.
If you are new to orienteering, take a look at our New to Orienteering page for hints and tips and check out our Beginners and Families events.
Important update regarding the Beginners, Family and Score Event at Banners Gate Sutton Park on 24/10/26.
Due to the gusts and heavy rain forecast for 24/10/26 in the afternoon we have moved the start times forward to 11am -1pm and courses will close at 2.30pm. Waterproof jackets are strongly advised. Participants take part at their own risk. There are plenty of spare maps for the 60 minutes score course if anyone wishes to enter on the day.
Revised details are here
Clent Hills – West Midlands League – 29 November
Preliminary details are available for our next Regional event, at Clent Hills National Trust. This is the first time in 20 years that the Hills have been used for such an event.
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!
