Event Information
Introduction
Spanish Score event in the town of Basildon. Mostly on street running, with some route choice through local parks. Maprun based, with controls located on fire hydrant signs and other street furniture.
Event 2 of the HAVOC Twilight Series 2026. The series will consist of three events, each with a specific scoring format. Each event will have two courses - Long and Short. Points will be awarded based on the specific scoring for each individual event, and then adjusted using an age/gender handicap system. Bonus points for running on the night compared to Anytime. Full results will be emailed via RaceSignUp and published on the HAVOC website.
Participation is at your own risk. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. Bring clothing and footwear appropriate for the weather conditions. As with any street orienteering you are required to cross roads and you are asked to take due care and attention at all times. High visibility clothing is strongly recommended. There may be dog walkers, cyclists or residents on pavements and footpaths – be aware and give them priority. Some roads do not have pavements so take extra care. As this event will take place in the twilight, a head torch or similar may be required if you are starting later in the start window.

Course Info
The idea of a Spanish Score is that you decide your own route through the controls. You can take them in any order, but you must visit them all. Failure to visit a control results in a time penalty. The leaderboard is calculated on time to finish.
Most controls will be fire hydrant H plates, or other street furniture. If the MapRun app does not correctly record your visit to a control, but you are sure you are in the right place, continue on to your next control, and GPS tracks will be used folliwing the event to ascertain that you were in the correct location.
