The second of two pre-season activities at Chailey Common. There will be a total of 4 races across the 2 nights with points awarded 100, 99, 98 etc to establish who's most ready for forest action in 2026-27. Tonight's activity involves a 15-minute sprint score competition with a mass start at 19.30. The action continues at 20.00 with a night competition and courses of 2.5km and 4km. It's another mass start, but this time with gaffling to split up the field.

All controls will be SIAC-enabled apart from the Finish which must be punched.
