Wetherby Urban, Sun Sep 27th
Claro would like to welcome you to the attractive market town of Wetherby, an ancient crossing place on the River Wharfe and long a landmark staging post on the Great North Road at the halfway mark between London and Edinburgh, as well as home to the northern branch of the British Library, and the famous Wetherby racecourse. We are delighted to be hosting the September rounds for the 2026 UK and Yorkshire Urban Leagues.

All courses are open to everybody, although under British Orienteering rules Under-16s may only run courses 1-6 ( if accompanied by an adult (non-competitively for league purposes). Entrants will be automatically assigned to the most appropriate league class on their course. MOpen will include all over-16 entrants on course 1. As neither the UK nor the Yorkshire league as yet includes a Grander Vet class (85+), MGV runners will score points in MHV by adding their results to the end of the MHV list. WGV and WHV will be included together as one class for league scoring purposes
