Here are the Race Results and Series Results from last night’s Street Orienteering Race in Kentish Town, organised by our friends at London Orienteering Klubb.
Thanks to Alex Owen for a great race and it was great to see over 100 runners enjoying themselves on a lovely evening.
I hope you can join us at the next Street-O race on 12 March in Brentford (West London), with details to follow shortly.
Matthias Mahr, Street-O coordinator
Note: we have a few more permissions to obtain, and we will add more to this post when we have them.
On Sunday 7th April 2019 we will return to Kingston upon Thames for the second Kingston Urban Race. This is the second race of the Southern England Orienteering Urban League (SEOUL) series.
Link to Routegadget for first Kingston urban race.
Kingston is an ancient market town on the banks of the River Thames, steeped in history and culture. In the tenth century Saxon Kings were crowned on Kingston’s Coronation Stone. Surrey County Hall, built at the end of the 19th century, is one of many notable buildings, although since boundary changes in 1965 Kingston has no longer been in Surrey.
The race will be in the historic urban town centre, with lots of alleyways, and nearby riverside parks and residential areas.
The map is 1:5000, updated 2018. Both SIAC and regular SI cards will be used for the race.

Here are the results from the Esher Common Night-O races on Tuesday 22nd January 2019. Congratulations to all who turned out and thanks to Alan and Diane Leakey for organizing.
I must admit that I was unimpressed when it started to snow whilst we were putting out controls writes Alan.
The 38th Box Hill Fell race took place on Saturday 19th January 2019. Thanks to organiser Harold Wyber and the team of volunteer helpers.
Update Monday 21st 10:45am – Sorry, we correct the results.
The Fabian4 entry form allowed people to enter as M45, M55, etc. but there were no prize categories for these. They should therefore have been re-categorised as M40, M50, etc but it was all quite rushed this year and that manual change fell through the cracks, sorry. We have now done this and it affects the summary results.
We owe Natasha Cendrowicz a prize.
Rob McCaffrey has a 10 minute video of the race – with nearly everyone pictured. The heading picture is from the video.
