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.
Best of British for FVO Five
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.
Return to the Valley of the Mole
Forth Valley Orienteers will return in October to the site of a previous triumph, as they head out to the Compass Sport Cup final in East Grinstead, where they won the 2019 final, after a thrilling race at the Trossachs.
All Aboard for Middle Magic
Twelve months later than expected, we were able to put on a quality event in our best area, as FVO hosted the 2026 Scottish Middle Championships in the Trossachs, then dominated the medal tables with 19 gongs.
Portu-geezers (and Portu-gals)
A fantastic 3rd place for Will Hensman in the Long distance chasing start race helped him to the overall Bronze medal in M45 at Portugal O-Meet 2026, which rounded off a great long weekend for the FVO party.
