Orion Harriers Forest Five Series 2026 Race 3 ELVIS

The Forest Five Mile Series, inaugurated in 2009, has become an integral part of the running community as it raises funds for Orion Harriers' Jubilee Retreat clubhouse. The series comprises three races held on Saturdays at 10 AM: June 6th, July 4th, and August 1st.
Participants who commit to all three events can take advantage of a discounted entry fee and vie for age category trophies based on their best aggregate time throughout the season. Age categories include SW (Senior Women), W40, W50, W60, W70, SM (Sub-Masters Men), M40, M50, M60, and M70.
The third race in this series is particularly special as it serves as Orion Harriers' home fixture for the ELVIS competition. In addition to age category awards, runners can compete for individual trophies including second and third place honors for both men and women. Team spirit is also celebrated with first-place prizes awarded to the top Women's and Men's Teams based on cumulative scores from four participants.
Set against the backdrop of Jubilee Retreat, this race offers a scenic course through lush woodland trails that challenge runners while providing stunning natural beauty along each mile marker. The event promises an engaging atmosphere for both competitors and spectators alike, fostering camaraderie among athletes as they support one another in pursuit of personal bests and team accolades.
The Forest Five Mile Series invites all runners to join this annual tradition celebrating athleticism, community spirit, and the enduring appeal of running through nature's finest landscapes.
