Courses
Courses – courtesy of Dan Barber – are as follows:
| Course | Length (km) | Climb (m) |
|---|---|---|
| Mass Start | 5.3 – 3.8 | 20 – 15 |
| Short | 3.8 | 15 |
| Novice | 2 | 5 |
This week due to the halloween themed format we’re offering a slightly different course selection. If you enter Mass Start then you may run anywhere between 5.3 – 3.8 km depending on how quick you are and how well you’re doing. So a typical short course distance for the slower runners and a typical long for the faster ones.
Would highly encourage everyone to enter the mass start to make this format as fun as possible!
However if you don’t fancy the mass start then you can also run the Short (the shortest version of the course) on your own beforehand. Keep an eye out for the final details though which will provide more information.
All courses are suitable for everyone.
No loose control descriptions will be provided.
Timings
- The starts for the Short and Novice are from 18:15-19:00.
- The Mass Start course starts at 19:00.
- Courses close at 20:00
Additional Information
As usual there will be no SI boxes at controls. You only need to punch the start and finish.
Maps will not be printed on waterproof paper, so if the weather is looking damp, please bring a map bag / polly pocket if you have one. There may be some at assembly.
As always, these events are at night in winter so come prepared: Torches, layers, shoes with grip (if location deems it).
EUOC have some spare compasses, dibbers and a few headtorches which you can borrow if needed – just let us know by sending us an email.
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.
