SE Sprint Champs
Final details are now available (click here)
This event is the South-East Sprint Championships for 2022, at the University of Surrey in Guildford which was first used for the World Cup in 2005 and a few years later for the JK.
For these sprint champs, GO has obtained permission to use a new part of the campus and the Research Park, offering competitors a brand new area with brand new challenges!
You should enter by age class; you may run 'up' to a 'higher' age class but if so you do not compete in your 'real' age class (eg an M45 running M18-40 cannot win M45-M55 even if faster than its winner (it's the same course)). If you want to run 'down' you must select 'out of class'.
There will be two races, AM and PM. The two times added together wlll be used to decide the Championship ranking.
AM race Start times: 10:30-11:30 (+ a little for course 3)
PM race Start times: 12:30-13:30 (+ ditto)
This year the second (PM) race will not have a 'chasing start'. Your start time in the PM race will be exactly 2 hours after your chosen start time for the AM race.
Entry (online only) is available up until the 29th of July. After 24th July the entry fees increase and are subject to the availability of pre-printed maps for each course.
Entries can be amended online until the 29th of July. After that please contact the Organiser for amendments.
