All Aboard the JK Express
All roads lead to Perthshire this week, as Forth Valley Orienteers will send a record number of competitors to the largest event in the UK, the Jan Kjellstrom International Festival, which takes place in Scotland for the first time in 14 years.
Trials but not Tribulations
A number of FVO athletes starred in the GB trial races for the summer's major internationals, with four holding qualification places at the halfway stage of a six event process.

A real show of strength around the Roman ruins on Croy Hill saw FVO athletes win six of the eight classes in the CLYDE SoSOL, and come home with two -thirds of the medals.
Remembering Gwen Mayor
The whole of Scotland was in shock 30 years ago today, as 15 children and their teacher were massacred in the school gym at Dunblane Primary. But the loss was particularly felt by members of FVO, as the teacher, Gwen Mayor, was one of our own.
Night Fighters Strike Home
The 2025/26 Forth Valley Night League series came to a spectacular finish with an epic race at Lochan Spling, near Aberfoyle, with two new champions, two defending their title and one moving class.
Seven Up as Girls on Top
A huge 23 minute victory margin for the U14 girls was the FVO highlight of the day at the British Relay Championships in South Wales, where club teams collected no fewer than seven medals on an excellent day.

FVO athletes laid claim to five national titles in the British Championships, as the prospect of open moorland in South Wales was just as productive as the lumpy forests of the Lake District last year.
Super Spanish Steps
There were two FVO teams in action in Spain over the weekend, with success right across the board, and four medals claimed.
