Event overview

British Night Championships 2026

HH are proud to host the British Night Championships 2026 on Egypt Woods. To make a weekend of it, there is also a Middle distance daytime National level race on essentially the same area on Sunday 8th. Courses are being planned so that little will appear familiar, even to those on the longest courses on both days.

The area was completely remapped in early 2025 by Simon Errington using LiDAR data.

Event Information

Details of BNOC 2026 and the National event (our annual Ace of Herts) are on the HH website. These details will evolve over time and will represent our current plans. The provisional timetable is:

• by end July - sufficient information for WRE Bulletin 1, enough to allow you to decide to come. No, the event isn't a WRE!
• By end September - entries open
• Mid January - entries close
• 2 weeks before - Final details including all information as in WRE Bulletin 2. We will email all entrants when details have become final and if necessary for significant changes thereafter.
