Sprint = a short course, short legs between controls, many changes of direction and twists and turns. You need to concentrate all the way and running really fast doesn’t always work best on these courses so don’t be put off by the term ‘sprint’ and come and give it a go. Ideal for beginners – we’ll have someone on hand to give you a quick bit of tuition on O map reading and simple navigation if required – and those looking to consolidate what they learnt at the Hazlehead Beginner Workshop.
