Wimbledon Common Night-O
The fourth race of South London Orienteers’ five event 2018-19 Night-O Series takes place on Wimbledon Common on Tuesday 26th February 2019.
Our apologies to under-16s: at this race both courses cross minor roads (so our insurance precludes under-16s running alone) which means you will need to find an adult to keep up and run with you if you want to take part.
 | This event is on Attackpoint. Say you are coming here! |
The Night-O series are public races – all are welcome. Please RSVP to the event via Facebook (link above) to let us know you are coming – you can also see who else is coming and post questions. If you are not on Facebook, please let the organiser Sue Carter (email details at bottom of this post) know you are coming so that the correct number of maps are printed.
Race Centre
The race centre is the King’s Head Pub in Roehampton SW15 4HL. There will be the usual opportunity to revisit route choices with other runners.
