Courses Handicap relays, run under the usual rules - see below.
There will be a limited number of maps available for individuals and groups not taking part in the relays to run a Yellow, Orange, or Light Green course.
Courses are not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs.
Manual (pin-punch and cardboard) punching will be used.
Location Assembly and changeover area in the grounds of Gosfield School, entrance at Grid Grid Reference TL788305 on the unclassified road between Gosfield and Halstead.
Please contact the organiser if you are bringing a coach or other large vehicle.
Map Open parkland and varied ancient deciduous woodland with some comifer plantation remaining.
1:10,000, 5m contours, updated for the event.
Your course will be printed on your map, which will be bagged.
Relay rules 1 - Teams of four runners must complete four short (yellow), three medium (orange) and two long (light green) courses.
2 - Each team member must complete at least one course and no-one may run the same course twice. At the start, each team will receive a set of maps, one for each course. The fourth runner will not be able to start until another team member returns.
3 - Scratch teams will start at 12 noon. Handicap will determine start time of all other teams. Handicap in minutes as follows:
Age101214161820213540455055606570+
M201613 9520246810121418
F20181613964911131618202020
Thus a team made up of W21+M40+M50+W55 will have a handicap of 4+4+8+18 = 34 minutes. Start time will be at 11.26. Easy really!
4 - The Organiser's decision is final.
