Organisers Information

BMBO always welcomes new organisers and will help them to create outstanding events.

Because BMBO is open to all, no organiser in BMBO has a right to an area, all organisers work together to run events that complement each other.

By working together, strong local leagues can be developed and this is the mainstay of the sport. So if you are the kind of person who wants to work with other like minded individuals, you are very welcome.

Since BMBO promotes best practice, we make all our documentation freely available. We know from riders that other organisations read and use our methods to run events. We hope to spread the wealth of experience that our organisers have developed so that all Mountain Bike Orienteering events are of a high standard.

Getting Started

All our event admin is done online. You will need to register your club, event, league and complete a risk assessment. These forms are all within the Management Portal which you access by logging in. For a more complete guide see the Getting Started Tab.

BMBO Event Levy

BMBO charges organisers a £1 levy per Associate rider per event. There are no hidden fees, your event is insured when it has been sanctioned and you have completed the Risk Assessment.
