Riverside Park (Glenrothes)

26 September 2026 11:00 am

Riverside Park, Glenrothes.

Newly mapped in 2025 following an extensive park development by Fife Council. This will be our second event here. The park has paths, water features, sculptures, a hedge maze, and other outdoor activities (skate park, frisbee golf). The event will start after the parkrun which is scheduled 9:30 - 10:30am. Entries required in advance, so we know how many course maps to print. The entries link will follow here in due course.

Past Events & Results

Sprintelope – Dunfermline

12 August 2026 6:30 pm

Dunfermline

Sprintelope in Fife! An extension of the Wednesday evening Edinburgh Sprintelope series, north of the Forth. These events are informal and lightweight. There will be a electronic timing at the start and end, but all interim controls are marked with tape (or flour!) and un-numbered. This is to make setup and pack-away quicker for a smaller organising team. But you still get the same smiles, engagement, chat and fun orienteering! Maps won't be printed on waterproof paper so please bring a map bag in case it rains. Map size is A3.
