Orion Harriers Forest Five Series 2026

The Forest Five (mile) race series began in 2009 as part of fundraising for the Orion clubhouse at Jubilee Retreat. The 2026 series comprises three one-mile races held on 6 June, 4 July and 1 August 2026 at Jubilee Retreat, Bury Road, Chingford.

A reduced rate is offered for entry to the full three-race series. Entry fees listed for the series and for the first race are time-limited with a discounted price available until 03 June 2026 23:59. Discounted rates apply to members of EA WA SA. Competitors are asked to keep their race number for use throughout the three-race series.

The series awards age-category trophies for best aggregate time across the three races. Age categories include SW, W40, W50, W60, W70, SM, M40, M50, M60 and M70. The third race in the series also serves as Orion Harriers' home fixture in the ELVIS competition and has separate trophies for that race, including placings for second and third Man and Woman and team prizes for first Women's and first Men's teams, with four to score.
