Welcome to the 2026 Lakes Spring!
This year the event will be focused on selection races for EYOC, JWOC, WUOC and JEC. Entries will be limited to those available for selection, because we have landowner restrictions on numbers, and want only those going for selection to be in the forest during their start windows. However, we would welcome anyone driving others who wants to volunteer with various jobs (pre-running / waking controls, parking, start, finish, control collecting). If you can help, please contact Duncan Archer.
