Who are we?
Cornwall Orienteering Club, commonly known as KERNO, was formed in 1982. The aim of the Club is to promote the sport of orienteering in and around Cornwall and has a total membership of around 200. The Club caters for all levels of interest and ability in the sport; from those who just want to walk around a short course to those who compete in events all over Britain.
The Club holds an event at least once a month on a large range of areas around Cornwall, using special orienteering maps which are regularly updated. Registration is from 10.30am to 1.00pm with starts from 11.00am to 1.30pm. Evening training runs are organised each week throughout the summer months.
The Club is a member of the South West Orienteering Association (SWOA), is affiliated to the British Orienteering Federation (BOF) and is administered by an elected committee.
The Club helps to maintain three Permanent Orienteering Courses in Cornwall.
