Essex Winter Midweek Series 2025/26 No.10 - Upminster
This is a midweek street orienteering event in Upminster that also forms part of the Essex Winter Midweek Series 2025/26. Points are awarded using an age and gender handicap system; the best six results from the ten-event series will count. Some events offer an Anytime catch-up on MapRun for up to two weeks subject to an Anytime time penalty, and bonus points are given for running on the night. Full results are emailed via RaceSignUp and published on the SOS and HAVOC websites.
Participation is at the entrant's own risk. The event will be run in accordance with published BOF and Government guidance and entry requires agreement to the BOF COVID19 Participant Code of Conduct. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. High visibility clothing is strongly recommended and a torch or head torch is advised because the race takes place in the dark.
The event uses MapRun, so competitors should have the latest version on their phone or compatible watch. If the app does not register a visit, runners must record the lower number on the hydrant sign or other reference. Bring a map bag if wet; non-MapRun competitors should bring a pen.
