This is a mid-week street orienteering event in Rayleigh on Wednesday 5th November. It forms part of the Essex Winter Midweek Series 2025/26. Points are awarded using finishing times adjusted by an age/gender handicap; the best 6 results from the 10-event series count. An Anytime catch-up is available for some events for two weeks after the event on MapRun, subject to an Anytime time penalty; bonus points are given for running on the night. Full results will be emailed via RaceSignUp and published on the SOS and HAVOC websites. The event will follow published BOF and Government guidance and participants must agree to the BOF COVID19 Participant Code of Conduct. Participation is at your own risk; under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
Courses, equipment and entry
- Long Score (60 mins)
- Short Score (40 mins) - 4.0 km
Courses are mostly on street with possible route choices across playing fields and open areas. Controls will mainly be fire hydrants and other street furniture; for fire hydrants record the lower number on the H sign. The event will use MapRun, so bring the latest version on your phone or Garmin watch. If the app does not register a visit, record the lower number on the control or bring a pen and control card. High visibility clothing is strongly recommended and a torch or head torch is suggested because the event takes place after dark. Some roads lack pavements and participants should take care. Entry fees start at £4 for seniors and £2 for juniors; an additional £1 levy applies if not a member of BOF. Newcomers are welcome and help is available.
