Race Information
South London Orienteers is offering you the opportunity to run at our Level B National event, South East league event and England Junior selection race on a brand new, LiDAR based map of Esher Commons. Assembly and parking (separate charge by railway company) will be in Oxshott Station car park with the start and finish nearby making it a very accessible event by public transport with trains every hour from Waterloo and Guildford. Overflow parking will be on designated nearby roads.
Start times ares from 10:30 until 12:30. Please select an available start time. Entries will be available online (subject to map availability) until 12:15 on the day of the event.
Esher is a mixed forest with areas of fast paced pine forest broken up by open heathland and some areas of bracken and bramble, which should by dying back at the time of the event. The area is generally gently sloping, with the exception of the Longy Down ridge but excavations and explosions by the Canadian Army whilst training here in WW2 have left areas of intricacy to add complexity to your run. However, we expect top runners on the longer courses to achieve close to 5 minutes per kilometre.
England Interland Junior Team Selection
Esher Commons is a Selection Race for Interland Junior Team Selection. Juniors who wish their results to be considered as part of the selection process must read the Selection Policy posted on the England Orienteering website (https://orienteeringengland.org.uk/). In particular, athletes should enter the correct course for their age class in 2023 and note that the entry system will limit slots to 4 minute intervals. When entering please select the Course with the relevant age class attached to it for this purpose, e.g. if M18 in 2023 then select Short Brown - M18. This will then ensure the seeding works correctly.
