Beginners' course every spring
The course focuses on young people who want to learn more about orienteering and who think that orienteering can be a sport that they want to pursue.
Location: Hellasgården. Minimum age is 8 years.
Price: 500 SEK for young people up to and including 20 years old, nice shirt included. The same price applies to accompanying parents.
The courses are usually held on Tuesdays starting in April and during May.
The course fee includes maps, map legend, compass loan and membership in the Hellas orienteering club.
Trainings at Hellasgården on Tuesdays and open trainings at the club house in Lissma on Saturdays
Hellas Orienteering has training sessions every Tuesday, usually at Hellasgården's sauna and gym at 6 pm. For more information, email info@hellasorientering.se.
We also have activities at our nice club house in Lissma. If possible an even better starting point for orienteering.
During winter and pre-season we meet there every Saturday at 10 am. Good opportunities to try orienteering. Maybe you are a multisport or fitness athlete who wants to try orienteering. Here you can take the chance to hang out with talented orienteers and see and learn "out there"!
We currently have a lovely group of interested young people and parents as well as other adults!

The Hellas Trail in Paradiset near the Hellas Orienteers' club house in Lissma will be a challenge for all types of runners. The race will be held for the first time on 21 March 2020, the first time the terrain has been used for a trail race.
