Entries now open at SiEntries
The first race of South London Orienteers’ five event 2021-2022 night series takes place in Richmond Park, south-west London, on Tuesday 26th October 2021. The race centre is the The Albert, Kingston Hill.
As this event takes place before the clocks change, it will be a dusk / night race.
Race Centre
The race will be based at The Albert, 57 Kingston Hill, KT2 7PX. 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 Albert before your run if you choose – you can go directly to the start. However you must come back to the pub to download.
