MV GLOSS at Reigate Priory Park

This event will be Mole Valley’s 2027 contribution to the Greater London Orienteering Summer Series (‘GLOSS’). GLOSS is an annual inter-club competition between orienteering clubs in and around London, with the prize being the prestigious London Bus trophy. Last year’s GLOSS website

There are two courses: the GLOSS course which is about 3½ to 4½ km (with optional extension to around 6 km) and is of moderate navigational difficulty, and a ‘Yellow’ course which is about 2km with easier navigation. Navigate between control points – you decide the best route to complete the course in the quickest time. Beginners welcome!

The best six handicapped times for each club at each event score points, which are totalled at the end of the season. GLOSS uses a handicap system in determining individual performance, based on how well you perform against the average of your British Orienteering Ranking Scheme scores.

Reigate Priory Park is partly classic town park, with mown grass, children’s playground, skateboard park and cafe, and partly very runnable woodland (see image above). There are some contours too!
