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.
Twist (LONG ONLY) – Runner’s Choice
Explanation
This week’s twist is a runner’s choice! At some point on the long course, you will flip your map. On the back will be several options of courses. Each will start where you finished before the flip, and make their way via a different sequence of controls before finishing at a common control. You decide which of these you believe will be quickest and then run that course. Once you have run your chosen course, you will flip back to the first side and finish the linear course as normal.
Barriers will be consistent across all of the choice options but may differ to barriers on the ‘normal’ linear part of the course before the first flip.
Cash for Cakes! 🎂
Laura Kitchin will be selling cakes at FWTN this week, raising money for summer training camps. If you’d like to help her with this and fancy a well earned cake after your run then please bring some cash along 🙂
