Many thanks to Andrew (Garry) Phillips for his first planned course which competitors stated they enjoyed very much. He found it very rewarding and wants to thank many club members who helped him put on the event and will be back volunteering to plan another event later in the year.

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.
