Entry on the Day will be unlimited, but once the pre-printed (waterproof, outdoor quality) maps have run out (there is an excess of between 3 and 30 across the courses), we will be using ones printed on an on-site printer. The last four starters on the Medium course will also be using one of these maps, as entries exceeded our expectations on this course.
