Courses and map availability
There will be 2 sprint courses:
Long: 3.5km (40 maps)
Short: 2.2km (15 maps)
These are "straight-line" distances - you will need to run further.
Both courses cross public roads so U16s will need to be accompanied.
A dibber is required for the start and finish on both courses. On the long course there will be three randomly placed controls for you to punch. On the short course there will be two controls for you to punch (shared with the long course).
Availability: Long = 40 maps, Short = 15 maps
Scale and Control descriptions will be printed on the map.
