Siste helg i oktober ble det avholdt Lørenskog Cup 2016. Etter å ha ligget i dvale flere år, så ble turneringen tatt opp igjen sist år, og man ser nå for seg å få den som et fast holdepunkt på Karate – kalenderen. Selv om den totale deltagelsen var noe lav, så fant man utøvere fra Sverige (som i fjor) og før første gang Danmark på startstreken! -og dette kan man trygt si satte fart på sakene.
