For orienteers, Easter means one thing – it’s the “JK” (or Jan Kjellstrom) weekend – four days of high quality orienteering, which now includes sprint, middle and long distance individual events, plus a relay day.
This year the JK was in the Midlands, and Wrekin members were out in force, both competing and helping in many capacities – car parking, enquiries, download, start, control collecting… pretty much everything really! Volunteers are a vital element of our sport so many thanks to all our helpers.
Here are some of the notable results on the competition side. Well done everyone, and special congratulations to double-medallists Annie Lewis and Kristof Nowicki!
