The Concorde Chase Weekend
2022-01-30
Sat 29th Urban @ Bracknell: One of the largest and most technical high-density housing areas in the UK, providing high-quality, low-traffic racing throughout. Older juniors can enjoy technical courses, younger juniors use the delightful grounds of South Hill Park. The event has both SEOUL and UKUL status.
Please note entries to the Urban Event are now closed (since 23:59 on 23 Jan 2022).
However, the forest event is open for a few late entries while maps remain (see the new course entry limits below) until 23:59 Wednesday night. Note that you follow the same button to the entry page for both days, but you will not be able to enter the Urban event, or any forest course where the entry limit has been reached.
Sun 30th Forest @ Hawley: The 42nd year of our Concorde Chase event, the second-largest annual event in the South of England. This year, we are returning to Hawley, a popular Army area, providing the first civilian event on the land since 2017. Fast forest running with intricate sections of complex control sites, plus open heathland in the northern part. Expect the Black course to be around 13.5k.
The Concorde Chase Weekend urban and forest events have both been selected for inclusion in the 2022 UK Orienteering League (UKOL).
