Burgess Park - Park O

This event is part of the London Park Race Series 2026, which is a series of summer evening orienteering races held in parks across London.

The entry fee is £6 for senior British Orienteering members + juniors; £8 for others. The races use both SIAC contactless and SI electronic punching. SIAC cards are available to hire for those who do not have their own for £2 each (free for juniors).

Two courses are on offer:

• Long - 4.9km shortest feasible route
• Short - 2.5km shortest feasible route

Both courses use the map scale 1:5000 with no contours.

Start Times will be from 18:15 to 19:30, with the start 1300m away from the pub, approximately 20 minutes walk.

Both courses have minimal traffic, so both are suitable for under 16s.

All entries, including on the day, will be online. Entries will stay open until 19:10 on the day of the event subject to map availability. Make sure you arrive at the start by 19:30.

Course closing time of 20:30.
