Orienteering is a popular outdoor sport that combines navigation, endurance, and decision-making skills. Understanding the factors that influence competitors’ results in orienteering races is of great interest to athletes, coaches, and selectors. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the factors influencing competitors’ results in different classes in the Long distance race of the 2022 China National Orienteering Championships. Trajectory distancesare measured, and the speed of straight-line segmentsof each competitor’s traceis sampled by using GPS trajectory data. First, elite class results exhibit weak linear correlations (and) with total trajectory distances, whereas non-elite class results show significant linear correlations (and). Second, the M21E and W21E class results are significantly correlated (and) with median speed, as are non-elite men class results (and). Non-elite women class results display a weaker linear correlation (and). Finally, the study found that the M21E class had a significantly higher running speed than the M21A and M35A, while the disparity between W21E and W21A/W30A classes was smaller. The results indicate that elite competitors with better physical ability tend to have better results. Non-elite male competitors with better physical ability and better route choice ability tend to have better results. Non-elite female competitors who make more rational route choices tend to have better results. Non-elite male competitors need to improve their physical ability further to become elite competitors. In contrast, the distinction between non-elite and elite female competitors mainly lies in their technical abilities.
