HAVOC-SOS Summer Series
2024-04-16
The Summer Midweek Street O league will be run over the spring/summer of 2024 and will consist of 8 evening events.
The events will be mostly street O line events, but can be any format/terrain, and will try to utilise some off road areas of parks, footpaths and woods.
Points will be awarded based on finishing times adjusted using an age/gender handicap system. Each missed or incorrect control will incur a 5 minute penalty. Best 6 results from the series will count for the final table. Full results will be emailed and published on the SOS and HAVOC websites.
It is hoped that courses will be available after the event date for two weeks, on MapRun, for points in the league, subject to an Anytime penalty of 5 minutes. There will however be a 15 point bonus for each run attended on the night, to encourage on the night runs and socialising.
