Wandsworth Common Night-O
The second race of South London Orienteers' 2026-2027 Night series takes place on Wandsworth Common in south-west London on Tuesday 24th November 2026.
The race centre is The Hope pub, SW17 7EG. The pub serves food and drink and provides a place to leave kit at the competitor's own risk. Because entries are online, competitors can go directly to the start but must return to the pub to download. Whistles are mandatory and can be borrowed from registration.
Entry is via SiEntries. The entry fee is £6 for SLOW members, students and juniors and £8 for others. Events use both SIAC contactless and SI electronic punching; SIAC cards are available to hire for £2. A small number of headlamps are available to borrow free with advance reservation. All entries, including on the day, are online and are subject to map availability.
Courses offered:
- Long: ~5.0 km straight line, optimal route approx. 6 km.
- Short: 2.5 km straight line, optimal route approx. 3.5 km.
Wandsworth Common features open land, wooded sections and running paths and is segmented by railway lines. Neither course is planned to cross roads so under 16s may run alone. Wooden walkways by the ponds may be slippery. The common is open to the public in the evening so expect runners, pedestrians and dog walkers and give way to other users. Main roads and some larger paths are lit; away from these it will be very dark so bright clothing is advised. All competitors take part at their own risk. Non members of British Orienteering are not covered by British Orienteering public liability insurance. Results will be posted on the SLOW website shortly after the event. Photographs may be taken.
