Many congratulations to all this year's British Orienteering Volunteer and Mapping Award winners and to all the runners-up within each award category too. 

Thank you to all those who have sent in nominations this year, it has been truly incredible to be able to showcase the outstanding efforts and time being given to our sport throughout the last year.  

Across the country, there is a tremendous amount of hard work and effort done by clubs and volunteers to make orienteering happen.
British Orienteering certainly appreciates and recognises all of this commitment, time, and effort that goes into our sport from all volunteers.

Thank you to each and every one of you for all you do for our fantastic sport.
