| Long | 4.3km | 105m |
| Short | 2.9km | 70m |

The Long and Short courses both cross some busy roads and are thus unsuitable for those younger than 16. Under 16s will either have to run the novice course, or be shadowed by an adult (over 16) on the long or short.
No loose control descriptions will be provided.
Timings
- The starts are from 18:00-18:45.
- There is an optional mass start on the Long course at 18:30.
- Courses close at 19:45
Additional Information
There may be artificial barriers out on the courses. The barriers will not be marked on the ground and thus it is up to you to make sure you abide by them. See an example of barriers in play below.
It goes without saying that a headtorch is required, shoes with good grip are recommended, and don’t forget your dibber.
EUOC have some spare dibbers, compasses & headtorches that you can borrow, just send us an email.
