Course: The course is 2.4 km in length, Orange (medium) difficulty. The aim is to start people at minute intervals from 6:30 to 7:00pm with the course closing at 7:45pm. The winning time should be under 20 minutes.

Terrain: Mostly open, scrubby, heathland with fast running on the paths. Most of the running can be done on paths but off the paths there are many jaggy, scratchy bushes & trees. Full leg cover required, no shorts.

Registration: You only need to visit Registration if you have to pick up a hired dibber, pay some money, or check the battery on your own SIAC dibber. Otherwise you can go directly to the Start.

Start procedures: Clear and Check your dibbers before you enter the start boxes, as usual. There will be a contactless check box for those of you with SIAC dibbers to waft. If your SIAC fails to register you will need to “dib” manually at the controls.
