Mitre: Epping North (Regional)
We hope you all enjoyed your run today in the glorious sunshine. Thank you for coming, and here are a few photos of the event to remember it by.
Iain Ambler, Organiser
Thank you for coming to our annual flagship Mitre event today. Trust that you enjoyed your run.
Congratulations to all those placing well, achieving a good personal time, experiencing competitive orienteering for the first time or getting round what can be a tricky area.
The event ran smoothly in super conditions. We had no reported injuries. There were a couple of items of lost property - 1/ light blue and black bnrku O shoes (size 8) and 2/ a Lidl bag containing a pair of Fitlock trail shoes (size unknown) plus running kit. Let us know if they are yours and we will get them back to you.
CHIG packaged the event with a year’s free club membership for new members , targeting local NE London park running / running clubs. This proved popular and we are delighted to welcome 7 new CHIG members/ families. Hope you enjoy getting to know / reacquainted with this great sport.
Thanks to - the wonderful CHIG volunteer team, capably managing despite a lower than usual Pribul (Tim/Sally away) input. To our dependable friends the DFOK Bennetts and Matthew V for helping to get the controls out. To Hedley for clear, prompt advice and controlling ; to Harold for many very good courses. To Theydon Bois parish council for use of their village hall, and finally of course to the Superintendent of Epping Forest and his team for use of this fabulous forest once more.
Finally, do look out for our next event, a paired weekend urban Eastender in Beckton and Canning Town with our friends at DFOK 28/29 March.
Best wishes for your orienteering in 2026
