Additional Information
Small paths have been omitted from the map on the Long & Short. This is to increase technical challenge and (hopefully) enjoyment.
The long course contains phi loops, make sure to visit the controls in the correct order on your map, especially as you may be running with people who have controls in a different order to you.
Whilst no one will be playing golf, Braids is a popular area for dog-walking and running. As such, so please be respectful of the public
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.
