BRITISH NIGHT CHAMPIONSHIPS

Hertfordshire Orienteering Club are proud to host the British Night Championships 2026 on 7th February 2026 at Egypt Woods together with Jennings and Hangings 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 February. Both are expected to be UKOL events. There is a discount for entering both events. The area is relatively small so competitors in both events will inevitably visit some areas more than once, but everything looks different at night!
