Pre-event Details
Map / Terrain
The area is wooded, mostly runnable, but all courses will visit an area of thicker forest near the start. If the weather is bad you may be required to carry a hooded waterproof jacket, and potentially hat, gloves and waterproof trousers. You should bring these to the event and notices will be displayed in the car park and at the start.
All courses have a section following a high fence above a sharp drop. This may require care if the ground is slippery due to soft mud or especially frost, but the fence is available as a secure handhold. Spiked or studded shoes are strongly advised.
Runners on technical courses overtaking inexperienced juniors along this section are asked to do so with care.
Full leg cover is compulsory, and you must carry a whistle.
