Course Information

A fun evening of short sprint-type courses in a forest environment. Everyone will run in four races:

There will be four competition rounds with runners going off in groups of 4 or 6. The winner will be promoted to the group above, the loser will be relegated. Runners will not know in advance whether an individual race will be:

- No gaffle (just a head-head race)
- butterfly (includes a loop(s))
- runner's choice (runner has 20 seconds to choose preferred course at start)
- pot-luck (runners draw straws for course variant)

Each race will be 1km, with races starting at 15-minute intervals.

Will be good fun for our juniors and club members.

Entries will close on Sunday evening 4 August 2024.

It will be a test event to see what's possible for a knock-out sprint at a local level.
