The 2011 Police Sport UK Orienteering Championships were hosted by the Police Service of Northern Ireland on Thursday 28^th April 2011 in the Mourne Mountains. This was also part of a two day set of races against the RAF and the 2011 International Championships for Police Officers.  Thirty officers from Sweden, Hungary and Germany competed, together with PSUK orienteers.

The Men’s and Women’s Open was a clean sweep for Derbyshire. The Women’s Open was a close run race with the lead changing 3 times with Christine Howard (Derbyshire) only getting the upper hand over Kendra White (Cleveland) 2 controls from the finish. Likewise on the Men’s Open where the lead also changed hands 3 times with Karl Webster(Derbyshire) only pulling clear when Richard Vasey (PSNI) made an error at control 15.  Mick Gallagher was a clear winner in the Senior Men and the only PSUK runner to beat an RAF competitor. It was pleasing to see new competitors attending the event, with Sarah Edwards from Lincolnshire taking third place in the Women’s Open and Richard Mallinson from West Midlands winning the Introductory Course.
