SOUTH LONDON ORIENTEERS and WAYFARERS (SLOW) invite you to enjoy an Autumn trail race. Several checkpoints define the courses which will be run over tracks and trails - the challenge arises from choosing the fastest route between them.

Maps will be on display near registration to allow you to familiarise yourself with the area.  Maps with pre-marked checkpoints (that define the courses) will be distributed during a pre-race briefing five minutes before each start.  (NB. No compass necessary).

 

ENTRY DETAIL: £5 in advance, £7 on the day. Includes detailed map of the area, hire of an electronic 'finger' (as used in adventure racing) to record your arrival at checkpoints and instant results showing your time between checkpoints. Entry limit 250 for all three races. Please enter in advance by post, using the form below, by 24^th September, or via email or the web site up to 24 hours before. Cheques payable to SLOW. Entries on the day accepted, subject to entry limit not being reached before 9.45am.
