Achievements

This page is currently under reconstruction, so the information is not complete. Over the years, Claro has done reasonably well on the competitive front given our size, and we have been lucky to have had some very talented orienteers pass through our ranks. This was especially the case in the late 1990s when a number of elite orienteers were living in the area. Success has not been limited to them though, and the club continues to achieve success at various levels. However, we all have individual goals whatever level we compete at, and the club aims to help members achieve those, whether listed here or not.
Criteria for inclusion here: National competitions – top 10 plus Short class winners; Northerns – top 3, Regional – winners.
