SOG Series Info

SOGs are friendly club events where children and newcomers are very welcome. Yellow and Orange courses are suitable for children to run on their own with a bit of practice. Adults are welcome to shadow children until they are confident to go on their own. Green and Blue courses are run or walked by any age group - you can race competitively or just enjoy the woodland.

There are two series of events - autumn and spring of approximately 8 events each. Electronic timing (SI) is used.

Help on the day always appreciated.

Terrain Description

Selhurst is a largely runnable forest on chalk hillside. Land Permission has kindly been granted by Forestry England and the Goodwood estate. There are a number of designated Ecological Sensitive Areas which have been clearly marked as out of bounds on the map and courses have been planned to avoid these areas. To ensure that we can continue to use the area in the future please respect these out of bound areas. There are also notices in main carpark stating that mushroom picking is forbidden in the forest.

Dog restrictions

On a lead in the car park.  In the forest keep dogs in sight and close-by; use a lead if they don’t always return when called. Always clean up after your dogs.
