Warminster Urban Event

Event Centre
Assembly is in a tent near the band stand in Warminster Town Park (W3W: multiples.pepper.drag) This will include Download and where hired dibbers can be picked up. There will also be a small tent for runners to deposit labelled bags.

Car Parking
Parking will be using the Town's car parks - check for charging.
The A360 circles the town; from this, take any road towards the town centre and head for a Town Car park. The two main ones seem to be near the Civic Centre (BA12 8FG GR ST872450 ) or the Station (the Civic Centre one is closest)
Walk through Morrisons Car park to reach the Town Park; if using the Car Park near the Station, walk straight down to the Main High street to avoid the Competition area, please; turn south at the traffic lights to get to the Park.

Map/Terrain
A mixture of urban and parkland/ fields. There may be some placid cows in the Nature Park to the east of the area; just give them a wide berth and run round them.

The Junior courses (6 and 7) will be almost completely within the park - they have a limited Start window as there will be marshals where these two courses have to cross roads.

All senior courses will have pictorial descriptions printed on the map; Courses 6-7 will have text descriptions; course 6 will also have pictorial descriptions.
Loose control descriptions will be available at the Start
Please note that studded shoes are not appropriate as the majority of running is on firm gravel paths, roads or grass. Decent trainers or Trail shoes are ideal.

Safety
Bright and/ or Club tops are requested to be worn, please;
Please observe any OOB areas marked on the map - our continued use of the area depends on our observance of these.
Please cross the roads in the town via the marked crossings
