Staging a TrailO event may, initially, seem to be complex and place difficult challenges for the planner and organiser. However, if the initial objective is to provide a TrailO experience, then the challenge can be quite limited - and will give new planners and organisers a chance to gain experience before potentially staging something larger. On this page, some guidance is given.
It would also be helpful for competitors new to the sport to take a look. Knowing what guidance is given to planners can assist the competitor is correctly solving the challenges.
Guidance
To support event planners and organisers, a series of Supporting TrailO leaflets are available which give details about the staging of different forms of TrailO events. It is often possible to stage a simple TrailO event alongside a standard FootO event or as a club training activity. Some thought and preliminary planning is needed but these leaflets, with text by Clive Allen, should provide sufficient detail and advice about what is required - just click on the titles to download a pdf file of each leaflet:
