Orienteering back at Rutherford Labs Monday 31st
It was a real privilege for TVOC to gain access to RAL for an event there in 2013, and we are really pleased to confirm that we have gained permission to go back there this year for our traditional Bank Holiday Monday Urban event. It will be a proper Urban this time rather than a twin sprint, with the map extended to include some of the adjacent Campus-style housing estates. It is a SEOUL event.
Planning is by a 16 year old and her mum. But this is no ordinary 16 year old. She won W18E at this year's JK day 2, and was second (and first Brit) on day 3. She 'only' ran W16A at this year's British Champs but she won all three (Long, Middle and Sprint). She is taking a break from planning at the moment to attend some junior orienteering event in Norway.
Entries are now open. Don't miss this rare opportunity to run at RAL. Oh, and no photography (headcams or otherwise) inside the wire, please.

Going to enter this, having missed the previous one.
It's probably worth noting that there's a half marathon taking place at 10am the same day, starting and finishing at RAL: http://www.barnesfitness.co.uk/event/harwellhalfmarathon I guess this may have some implications for parking and traffic, although the half marathon appears to be all outside the labs.

TVOC has been liaising with the Barnes Fitness people. Separate parking and access routes; the half-marathoners will have set off before the orienteering starts (heading SW to the Ridgeway and beyond) so their mass start isn't a problem for us. They'll dribble back and not many will depart while the orienteering is happening, but Fiona and Alison are aware of their running and traffic routes.

Sunday (today) is the last day to enter at the reduced entry price for the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory urban races (near Didcot) next Bank Holiday Monday. Part of SEOUL too.
