The final race in the Lincs Urban League saw some excellent racing around Lincoln’s historic East End. Clare Hanna’s courses made great use of this varied area, with runners thrown into the Arboretum and Hospital Housing complex firstly, followed by some interesting route choice legs around the city centre, before being faced with the challenges of the intricate Stamp End to finish. This race, as well as deciding five of the six trophies up for grabs on the night, also featured the annual LOG vs HALO Lincolnshire Challenge Shield fixture.
Points from the race are shown here and the overall series table is here.
On the night, LOG comfortably claimed both the LUL and LCS shields, and the winners of the individual awards were:
Short – Isabel May (LOG)
Women’s Medium – Elspeth Jolly (HALO)
Men’s Medium – Martin Wheeler (LOG)
Women’s Long – Kate Brown (HALO)
Men’s Long – Liam Harrington (LOG)
Paul Murgatroyd has been named as British Orienteering Coach of the Year. In making the award, England Development Manager Peter Brooke stated, :
“Across the country, there is a tremendous amount of hard work and effort done by clubs and volunteers to make orienteering happen. British Orienteering certainly appreciates and recognises all this commitment, time and effort that goes into our sport from all our volunteers.
Paul’s recognition is well deserved for the tremendous amount of hard works he’s put in for the benefit of others.”
Congratulations to Paul on his well-deserved award.
Following the advice from British Orienteering, all events and activities have been suspended. You can see the full update from British Orienteering here.
