ESOC: Lauriston Castle and Cramond Foreshore Local Event
2025-04-12
The closing date for online entries is 6pm on Friday 11th April
However to be guaranteed a course map on waterproof paper for your chosen course you MUST pre-enter by midnight on Monday 7th April.
We will print some extra waterproof maps for late entries. After the cut-off date, if your preferred course is full (see entry limits below), contact events@esoc.org.uk and we may be able to offer you a non-waterproof version (at the same cost).

First time using this system? To save time when entering ESOC events, please take the time to set up a RACESIGNUP account and create profiles for all the members of the group or family you are entering. You only need to pay once you have entered all the individuals you wish to. More help with entering pairs or groups below.
If you want to run on your own with your own map and SI dibber (timing device) please enter as an Individual.
To enter as a pair who will share a map and timing device enter the name of the second person on the form in the Group/Pairs name box. For a pair of juniors ensure the lead person on the entry form is a Junior.
If you want to enter as a group (up to 2 adults and 3 juniors) to go round a course together sharing a map and SI Dibber (timing device), provide the details of one adult as normal and, at the bottom of the form, select the number of additional people that make up the group. You can enter the name for the group on the form in the Group/Pairs name box eg The Smith Family.
Larger groups should enter as 2 groups (in 2 separate entries).
