Sprintelopes are lightweight informal events featuring Urban style races around the streets of towns in East Lothian and other areas in and around Edinburgh on Wednesday evenings.
In 2025, ELO are contributing five races to the series – this is the fifth of them, around Tranent!
Orienteers of all abilities are welcome to join us on the day when we will have a range of courses to suit everyone.
Binning Wood SoSOL
Saturday 28th June 2025
Binning Wood was replanted after 1945 with conifers and beech and has a complex network of rides, paths and ditches which can be disorientating to the unwary. Much of the site has become overrun with rhododendron, but ongoing clearance work has dramatically improved runnability. In many areas visibility has improved and hidden ditches have reappeared, although the brashings will slow you down.
There are more courses than usual because today’s event is part of the South of Scotland Orienteering League.
