A Score course Find as many controls as you can in the time limit. 10 points for each one found, but lose 10 points for every minute or part minute late – e.g. visit 15 controls for 150 points, but if you take 29 mins 10 seconds (effectively 5 minutes late), you lose 50 points.
Course Distances: These are straight line distances. Expect to run up to 10% longer.

Safety: A risk assessment has been carried out by the Organiser and all reasonable care has been taken to ensure the safety of competitors. However, participants take part at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety during the event.
