The novice course stays within Bruntsfield Links and only crosses minor roads.
You must report to download even if you do not finish your course.
Additional Info:
As usual, there will be no SI boxes at controls. You only need to punch at the start and finish.
*New for 2022* To add another layer of spice to our brilliant areas, we will be using artificial barriers. These are great at creating new route choice legs and will make even the most seasoned athletes scratch their heads. The barriers will not be marked on the ground and thus it is up to you to make sure you abide by them. See below for an example (not in Edinburgh).
It goes without saying that a headtorch is required, shoes with good grip are recommended, and don’t forget your dibber!
It goes without saying that a headtorch is required, shoes with good grip are recommended (metallic dobs, however, are not permitted), and don’t forget your dibber!
EUOC have some spare compasses, dibbers and a few headtorches which you can borrow if needed – just let us know.
The Exchange is an area with many pedestrians and cars so extra caution must be taken.
The courses have been planned to avoid infringement with the WOC 2024 Embargo. You can find out exactly where the embargo is here.
