South London Orienteers would like to announce that entries are now open for the Fourth City of London Race, which will take place on Saturday 10 September 2011. This year, the race is part of the UK Cup and UK Masters Cup, although not the Nopsport Urabn League (due to the need for extra courses due to anticipate numbers).
23 entries so far, including some from overseas
On the Sunday LOK will be putting on an OrientShow style ultrasprint race in Regents Park. This will use a 1:1,000 scale map and include a labyrinth, with several qualifying courses followed by 'Final' races for everyone.

With four weeks to go and nearly 700 entered so far, including over 200 internationals, we now have lots of people on most classes, particularly Men's Open which is nearly full. If you planning on coming down to the City on 10 September be sure to enter soon through http://cityrace.org/
There is also an Ultrasprint on Sunday, organised by LOK which has a strict entry limit of 400 and mandatory entry in advance - see the "Ultrasprint" tab on the City Race website for more details.
...right, off yet again to map the latest hoarding changes...

Re: 4th CIty of London Race
Are there any changing facilities like last year - can't see anything mentioned in the details?

Final details are not yet up -- probably a bit later today or tomorrow -- but if you go to
http://cityrace.org/location/ you will be able to make whatever assumption you want
about the availability of changing facilities. There is only mention, specifically, of Toilets

I believe the Assembly etc is in a school, so imagine there will be a changing area plus kit storage.

There are no dedicated changing facilities this year, although I would imagine you'll be able to change in the toilets in the school.

If we all change in the toilets, I would imagine that could create long queues of people wanting to use the facilities for their normal purpose!
Normally at an orienteering event, I would happily change in a semi-public area, thinking that orienteers are unlikely to be offended. However, the details also say "there will be other organisations using the school facilities on the day". Does this mean that we should not change in 'public', and be careful only to change in the toilets to avoid offending other users?
Some explicit statement from the organisers seems like a good idea.

I think changing in the school hall should be fine. As far as I am aware, we have the hall to ourselves. There are no *dedicated* changing rooms, this is not the same as saying you cannot change at the event!

Re: 4th CIty of London Race
Wanting to keep it away from that other thread, the numbers involved are truly spectacular. Fantastic job from Ollie and everyone else at SLOW who had the vision to get this going.
Out of interest Ollie, how many of those entries are IND/Not members of an O Club?
Wish I could come! But I will be enjoying the life in Deeside with FVO instead - a pretty excellent alternative.
