JEC x EUOC Knock-Out Sprint

Entries

Join us back in Edinburgh this May to try out Knockout Sprint — orienteering’s newest and most exciting format. Held in Wester Hailes, previously used for WOC 2026, it promises to be a high-quality day of orienteering — perfect preparation for the British Sprint Champs and Senior Selection Races in June. Featuring both an elite and open class this event is open to all!

There’s a few ways to run the event

Enter whatever you fancy for the morning sprint. We’d recommend Long for Men’s Elite and Medium for Women’s Elite.
If you’re wanting to race with the fastest – enter Knockout Elite for the afternoon.
If you want to race your clubmates or see how the format works – enter Knockout Open for the afternoon. We will seed the rounds as best we can to ensure everyone is competitive!
If you prefer a normal sprint, we’ll have one of those in the afternoon too! Enter Open Sprint for the afternoon.
In case you get knocked out earlier than you’d like, you will also have free entry to the Open Sprint. Hopefully this means everyone will get to sprint to their hearts content!

JEC (Junior European Cup), is one of a few international junior races held each year. It’s an important competition for both performance and development as we can send 24 athletes to experience what it’s like to race at the highest level. However, the associated cost of sending a full team is large, and so we’re putting on this event. All proceeds will go to supporting this year’s and future years’ team — helping our juniors continue to achieve their potential.
