Barnes Common Night Orienteering, Tuesday 25th January
The third race of South London Orienteers’ five event 2021-2022 night series takes place on Barnes Common South-West London, on Tuesday 25th January 2022.
Race Centre
The race will be based at The Spencer, SW15 1HJ. The pub serves great food and drink, and there will be the usual opportunity to revisit route choices with other runners. Kit can be left while you run (at you own risk).
Note that due to online entry (see below), you do not need to come the The Spencer before your run if you choose – you can go directly to the start. However you must come back to the pub to download.
Whistles are mandatory – they can be borrowed (collect from The Spencer).
