In O terms, “sprint” means short distances between controls, plenty of route choice and changes of direction or even loops to keep you on your toes. Whether you actually sprint or jog or walk is up to you so if you’ve been put off by the “sprint” bit in the past, why not give it a go this year and join us?

The short sprint will suit juniors and beginners although please note that it’s not quite as easy as a yellow course as there are more decisions to make. Juniors will need accompanied by an adult as there are roads to cross.
N.B. urban distances are measured as-the-crow-flies, optimal routes on the ground can be anything up to 1.5 times as long.
Urban maps have some special symbols so make sure you know what’s what, especially the Out of Bounds areas or fences and walls that must not be crossed as it’s private property. Click here for an annotated map snippet showing you what to look for.
Safety – A risk assessment will have been carried out by the organiser, but participants take part at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety during the event. We’ll be sharing parks/streets/woods with others so be courteous to other users and watch out for bikes/dogs/horseriders.
