Mid week street event
The event will form part of the HAVOC/SOS Mid-Week Twilight League. Each event will have one score course, with two time limits - Long (60 mins) and Short (40 mins). Points will be awarded for each control visited, and then adjusted using an age/gender handicap system. Best 3 results from the 4-event series will count. Bonus points for running on the night compared to Anytime. Full results will be emailed via RaceSignUp and published on the SOS and HAVOC websites.
Participation is at your own risk. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. Bring clothing and footwear appropriate for the weather conditions. As with any street orienteering you are required to cross roads and you are asked to take due care and attention at all times. High visibility clothing is strongly recommended. There may be dog walkers, cyclists or residents on pavements and footpaths – be aware and give them priority. Some roads do not have pavements so take extra care.
