Courses:
Course details are as follows.
| Course | Length (Optimum) | Climb |
| Long | 4.4km | 70m |
| Short | 3.0km | 60m |
| Novice | 1.7km | 25m |
The Long course crosses some busy roads and is thus unsuitable for those younger than 16. The Short crosses some quiet roads and the Novice stays within the park, so both are suitable for everyone.
No loose control descriptions will be provided.
Covid:
Please do not come if you have any COVID-19 symptoms, have been in close contact with someone with COVID or are currently isolating.
Additional Info:
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 for the mean Calton Slopes, and don’t forget your dibber!
EUOC do have some spare compasses, dibbers and a few headtorches which you can borrow if needed.
Calton Hill offers great views of the city, especially at night. As such, the area may be busy so please be respectful of the public.
The courses have been planned to avoid infringement with the WOC 2024 Embargo. You can find out exactly where the embargo is here.
