After two years of urban racing round army barracks the Peter Palmer Relay returns to the woodlands of its Sutton Park home in 2012. This year's event takes place over the weekend of 8^th/9^th September, organised by the City of Birmingham Orienteering Club with help from Harlequins and Octavian Droobers. As usual the race will start at around 5.00 a.m., with Leg 1 runners completing their courses in the dark and daylight breaking as the Leg 2 leaders come in for their handover. The four daylight legs range from Yellow and Orange standard through to the final long Green leg which will test the most experienced.

The Peter Palmer Relay is a great opportunity for clubs to give all their juniors the experience of competing in an exciting relay competition, as well as having a social weekend away. Make sure you have a team there in September. All the details and an entry form can be found at www.coboc.org.uk.
