Summer Series League

By Webmaster , 10 June, 2025

Saturday's event at Itchen Valley Country Park means we've now had three out of the five in the series. The combined league results on the Summer Series page have been updated to reflect the best two positions so far. David Currie is currently topping the table for the hard course, but he's been beaten at every event so far, so with two more events still to go, it's still all to play for. Helen Wheelwright is just ahead of Barbara Davidson on the medium, and Georgia Jones is winning the easy course.

The remaining two events in the series are at Telegraph Woods on 5th July, and Fleming Park on 2nd August.

Harvester Relays 2025

By Jenny Jones , 20 May, 2025

The Harvester Relay returns this year and takes place on the weekend of the 27th/28th June at King's Wood, Surrey. Britain's answer to the Tiomila or Jukola, the event starts in the middle of the night, and then there are 5 or 7 legs, typically with the last one or two finishing in the daylight. If you'd be interested in being a part of a SOC team, captain [at] socweb.org (subject: Harvester%20Relay) (drop Christine an email), indicating whether you'd prefer a day or night leg, and how far you'd like to run. The five-leg option also includes an easier (TD3) course.

See the event website for more details, including accommodation. There is also a Chasing Sprint on the Saturday, for those who want to make the most of the journey east.
