2026 MV summer series - event 7: Epsom Common
Thursday 23rd July
This is the final event in MV's 2026 summer series - Polar Bear themed!
Explore Epsom Common - a local nature reserve, part of Epsom and Ashtead Commons, a Site of Special Scientific Interest. This is a nationally important wildlife location because it is a breeding site for birds.
The summer series events are a great introduction to orienteering for all abilities and a good opportunity to get out and about midweek for a bit of training.

Series information: The 2026 Summer Series is weekly across June and July at local venues within the Mole Valley area. All events focus on a time-limited score course. Your map will show a number of controls but you don't have to visit each one. This means that there is no set course, you just visit as many controls as you want/can within the time limit.
For most events, the Start and Finish will be located in the outside area of a pub which will also offer food. For others, bring a picnic/BYO!
Online entries close 7pm on the day of the event but please get entries in early for map printing purposes. Early means 3 days before please!
The MV summer evening series is free to MV members and each event costs very little for non-members to enter (entering the whole series? cheaper to become a member!). Like our winter series, it’s app-based and suitable for newcomers, improvers and more experienced orienteers. A great opportunity to take a step up to navigating confidently with a map in parklands. Entries via racesignup. The events in the series were:
Monday 8 June – Claremont Fan Court School, Esher
