COMPETITION DETAILS - SUNDAY 10th SEPTEMBER 2006
THE START WILL BE AT 4.30 AM.
First Leg runners must be ready by 04.25 a.m. at the latest.
A small marquee will be available at the change-over area for the deposit of clothing. Club tents can also be put up in the adjoining assembly area and can be left out overnight at your own risk.
Team numbers must be worn pinned to the chest of "O" tops.
There will be no demonstration of the change-over sequence.
Maps for the first leg runners will be placed face downwards before each runner at the start.
From the last control runners must cross the finish line and then touch their next team runner. Maps must then be placed in Club bags. Final leg positions will be taken when runners cross the finish line.
Out-going runners should collect their correct map AFTER being touched. Maps will be in order by team number. The team number and leg number will be on the reverse of the map and will be visible before collection.
LAP 5 ONLY: There will be one map with the team and leg number on the map posts. For teams with more than one runner on lap 5, additional maps should be picked up by the second and third runners from the end of the map posts.
There will be MINI MASS STARTS at the Controller's discretion.
Teams that have had runners disqualified WILL be allowed to continue. Please check controls and “dib� in carefully - incorrect dibbing will be penalised.
The presentation of trophies and prizes to the first three teams in each Competition will take place in the Assembly Area approximately one hour after the winning teams have finished.
PLANNER’S NOTES:
THE MAP: The area has been re-mapped and maps are at a scale of 1:10000. Contour interval is 5 metres. Courses will be overprinted and course and control descriptions will be on the front of the map. All maps will be in polythene bags.
TERRAIN : The park has a good mix of coniferous and deciduous woodland with some thicker areas of holly, birch or rhododendron. There are large areas of fast open heathland, some with intricate gorse bushes.. All areas are well interspersed with paths and tracks. Note that there is a lake in the event area and care should be taken on the early legs. Do not try to run across it!
COURSE LENGTHS AND DIFFICULTY:
Distance after
Length spectator control
Leg 1 5.1 km 2.7 km Red standard
Leg 2 5.1 km 2.7 km Red standard
Leg 3 4.6 km 0.9 km Light Green standard
Leg 4 3.1 km 1.2 km Orange standard
Leg 5 2.4 km 0.6 km Yellow standard
Leg 6 6.3 km 1.6 km Green standard
Warning: Laps 1 and 2 are similar in distance and difficulty, but individual competitors will not be running the same courses. Some controls are common, some are not. Similarly, parts of laps 3 and 6 are also gaffled. Remember that this is a relay race and disqualification wrecks the entire team’s chances. Check the control codes carefully.
OUT OF BOUNDS AREAS: There are a number of areas that are marked as out of bounds on the map but will not be marked by tapes or any other means on the ground. Courses have generally been designed to avoid these, but note that the Light Green and Green courses have a route choice option that uses a clearly shown footpath between two out of bounds areas.
TAPED ROUTE: There is a taped route of approximately 100m on the Yellow course between the last two controls.
GENERAL INFORMATION
CONTROLS: SI controls and dibbers will be used. Some controls may be manned for protection or radio information. There will be a spectator control which all courses visit. The competition area will be patrolled for security and to guard against vandalism. All competitors take part at their own risk.
RESULTS: These will be displayed on a board in the assembly area as soon as possible after runners have finished.
TOILETS AND SHOWERS : These will be available at the Wyndley Leisure Centre.
BREAKFASTS: Available at Clifton Road Youth Centre from 6.00 a.m. Cereals, roll and jam or marmalade and hot and cold drinks will be available. There will be no charge for breakfasts and all accompanying adults will be catered for. A ticket system will be operated.
FIRST AID: First Aid will be available at the event. The nearest Casualty Department is at Good Hope Hospital. This will be shown on the local map that will be available at Registration.
SPECIAL REQUEST: Wyndley Sports Centre and Clifton Road Youth Centre and Sutton Park are widely used by the public and by other organised groups. Please respect all other users. Please leave no litter and keep noise to a minimum
