Night Street League

Night Street League

The NSL is a series of events that are usually held every other Thursday evening during the darker nights.  The format is a 60 minute mass start score (in which runners visit controls, or checkpoints, in any order they want) with more details in the event fliers.

Newcomers and non-members are very welcome to take part. If you are new to Orienteering then click here to find out more about the sport.

Wherever possible the event will be based in a pub, community centre or similar to make the evening more sociable. They use the MapRun application.

The final 2022/23 League table is here; John’s comments can be read here and the reigning champions are:

  • Women’s open- Eloise Lee
  • Women’s Vets- Phil Dolphin, followed by Mandy Mackereth

  • Men’s vets- John Leeson- just ahead of Robert Rose who was followed closely by Peter Langmaid

A headlamp / torch is highly advisable, but it need not be a full-power terrain night-O one. You should also wear a light / reflective top to help ensure you are seen. Whistles may be required, depending on terrain.  There is a fuller explanation of the format here. Most importantly:  without volunteers to plan and organise there will be no series. A guide to planning these events is here, with additional support available from the league organiser. There is also guidance for making the event accessible.
