MAY 2008 |
May 3rd: Check
out the YSC
for a new 5k race in Orpington and a
family fun walk in Petts Wood!
ORR Family Orienteering Challenge
- SAT 7th Jun 2pm
Open to families as a walk/jog/run challenge and as a timed race for individuals who want to “race”.
Peter Amos will provide maps and control cards and will layout the course wholly within Jubilee Park so it shouldn’t take longer than an hour to walk round and suitable for all ages. Entrants will be set off at timed intervals and will choose their own route to find the “controls”.
The venue is Jubilee Park in Petts Wood. |

Also, have you ever run some of the most
popular races for May:
the
Ted
Pepper 10k,
