Results, splits and analysis from Race 3 in the BOK Urban Orienteering Series 2022 at Bradford on Avon.

Our 2nd race in the BOK Urban Orienteering Series took us to Emersons Green and the tricky hillsides of Rodway Common. All courses started with controls that went into the complex contoured forest area, which proved a challenge for competitors with many comments afterwards about lost time trying to ‘find number 1’. This didn’t seem to put people off though, as the overwhelming feedback after the race was that the mix of forest and urban on a sunny Wednesday evening was the right combination of fun and challenging.

Results from Race 2 in the 2022 BOK Urban Series at Emersons Green. Results / Splits available, also our first look at Urban League positions after 2 races.

With over 150 entries, the first event of the BOK Urban Orienteering Series 2022 proved to be an exciting race at a complex (and hilly) Bristol University Halls campus. Last years season opener at the end of April was not blessed with the best of weather (those that were there might remember the constant rain and dark skies). However, despite the evening being pretty cold this year the weather was good to us and we even had a beautiful sunset to view over the Bristol Channel whilst standing at the finish and watching late starters come in.
