Summary Vegetated hillside, urban area and school, with large changes in elevation.
Notes

A range of courses on a brand-new ISSprOM 1:4000 map featuring steep, furze-covered hillside, a network of urban streets and some public areas, and access to a complex school for a micro-sprint section.

 

The technical courses (Long and Medium Long) will have 2 sides, with the first portion of the course on Side 1 and the second portion of the course on Side 2. Side 1 is the full event map at 1:4000, with Side 2 featuring a 1:1000 map enlargement. The 1:4000 map has been produced to ISSprOM 2019-2 standard, while the 1:1000 map has been produced to ISSprOM-2019 Schools standard. Both maps have been produced from scratch by Jack Hanafin.

 

SI Air will be enabled for all controls. If your SI card number begins with a '2', some courses may have more controls than you can store. More information here. SI cards suitable for the Medium Short and Short courses are available to rent.

 

The courses on offer are below, subject to minor changes up to the week of the event:

 

N.B. the Medium Long is the technical mid-length course, not the Medium Short.
