Posted onAuthorGraeme FrancisLeave a comment

 Looking for something to do on Sunday again? Don’t worry it’s time for another Craigavon outing if you wish, to an area not used in years: Gosford Forest Park. Ok, the map may need a bit of work but I’ve planned the courses so that you can enjoy the conditions underfoot and run free, well mostly. As usual, there will be something on offer for everyone, whether complete beginner or seasoned pro. All I would ask is that if you are thinking of coming, please let me know for map numbers.

WENT 1 this Wednesday (1 Nov) is ON at Ormeau Park. Meet in the main car park from 7.00pm onwards, ready for a 7.30pm mass start. You will need a head torch and shoes suitable for the somewhat damp park grass surface conditions. We will have SI cards and compasses for those who need them. Don’t forget that Beat the Street finishes at 7.00pm on Wednesday, so if you come a bit early you will have time to score a few last minute points for the LVO team using the Ormeau Park boxes!

Crawfordsburn – Added Value!

Posted onAuthorAlan GartsideLeave a comment

There will be a free-to-enter TrailO course available at Saturday’s event.  This will be for the 2017 Club TrailO Championship so, since no FootO Champs have been scheduled in the fixture list, this is your chance to become THE 2017 Club Champ!  The TrailO is to be taken before your FootO run (I don’t want to be collecting controls in the dark!) so come along a little early and have a go – instruction will be available if required.  The trail is 925m with 9 controls.  Technical details later.
