Terrain:
You'll be able to do the majority of the long and short course on forest roads. The emphasis is on route choice for this early season event.
The crucial skill is to know where to leave the road to find the checkpoint in the woods. Good pacecounting will be an advantage.

Map:
Scale 1:7500
Much of the forest is marked ‘walk’ on the map, but it’s patchy.  A strong runner will find most of it ‘slow run’.
There are many mountain bike and motorbike trails in the forest.  The most popular are shown on the map.  They go a bit invisible if they haven’t been used recently (and they're not easy to see in the dark), so it depends what the riders have been up to.

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.
- Please come prepared for bad weather and carry a whistle.
