SYO wrote:The UK's favourite junior team orienteering competition, for M/W12 - M/W18, returns with the usual mixture of challenge and fun. The 6-leg relay, starting in the dark and finishing at breakfast sees the leading teams racing head to head for the prestigious Peter Palmer Trophy alongside novice orienteers enjoying the challenge and comradery. Eligible teams can also compete for the Joan George Trophy and Norwich trophy.
New for 2018 is the 4-leg DayBreak Relay starting at sunrise and with technically easier courses to suit smaller clubs or less experienced second or third teams in bigger clubs.
Tankersley Wood is an ideal location with a wealth of detail and a well-defined path network providing orienteering challenges to suit all levels of experience. With compact looping courses passing through the arena 16 times during the race and a commentary team describing the action, we expect exciting races for competitors and spectators alike, whilst offering reassurance for novices that they’re never too far from the finish.
The winners also receive free entry and accommodation for the junior relay at next year's Tio Mila in Sweden.
To answer the questions from the Youth Strategy thread, the DayBreak Relay starts at sunrise (6.30) so first leg runners may need a headlight to read the map in the woods but it won't feel too dark. It inherits all the rules from the main race except you only need a minimum of 1 boy and 1 girl in each team rather than the 2 of each required in the main relay.
