JOG
A foggy morning gave way to a beautiful afternoon for our trip over the border to North Devon. The sunshine picking out the autumn colours, fallen leaves, mosses and fungi littering the woodland floor and sweeping parkland studded with magnificent trees made this a special venue for our 4th JOG event of the season.
Graham Pearson has just run his 200th Parkrun!
Graham Pearson ran his 200th Parkrun on Saturday 7th November at Longrun Meadow. Graham is our most regular Parkrunner and almost always sports a QO top. John Fisher also completed his 100th Parkrun. It was great to see 11 QO tops on display.

QO at the Lakes 5 Days
Some 21 or so Quantock Orienteers attended the Lakes 5 Days 2026 event. The lakes offer some of the most demanding terrain. The event is renowned for big hills, intricate contour detail, rough ground and the kind of long uphill walks to the start that have become stories in their own right. Across the week, QO runners (and walkers) performed relatively well, navigating some brutally technical areas but enjoying the team spirit that makes multi-day events so special.
Your club needs you!
Quantock Orienteers run a series of urban maprun events throughout the winter months, but these 'Street Series' events do not plan themselves. If you are interested in planning, or learning more about what is involved, please email website@quantockorienteers.co.uk.
