Dash and Rocket courses will feature artificial barriers to create route choice

Route choice on the Dash and Rocket courses may take you on steep slopes, in which case shoes with a bit of grip are recommended, particularly if it has been raining.

 

Important Safety Notes:
- You must come and register before starting your run and you must return to registration to download even if you retire from your course.
- If you travelled to the event alone, you must state this at registration or leave your car keys.

Additional Notes

Rocket League is WCOC’s fast and friendly Thursday evening sprint series. Through June and into July are the next 4 events in towns and parks across West Cumbria. With three course options — Rocket, Dash and Spark — there’s something for everyone, from experienced orienteers to complete beginners and juniors. Courses are short, fast and designed to be fun and accessible, making it a great way to try orienteering or add something different to your weekly training. Newcomers are always welcome and help is available before the start if you’re new to the sport.
