Myrtle Park - Summer Sprint League

As a number of people had difficulty actually seeing some of the control blocks the planner has generously agreed to re-instate those disqualified. The main results have been updated. (Where I've re-instated controls I've had to put a notional spilt time in - so these won't be accurate - PJ, SI Manager)

Pre Event Info

Aire Summer Sprint League 2021

On the Sprint Course there will be 3 SI controls numbered,1, 2,and 3, which will be visited in that order. They will be placed on random controls throughout the course. They must be punched, or sadly, you will be disqualified. All other controls need only be visited closely. We don't encourage touching of the controls by hand while covid is with us.

Course Information

Sprint Course for Seniors

Orange course for more experienced juniors, or juniors, 12 and under, accompanied by their parents or guardians and Seniors who don't wish to do the Sprint.

Terrain Description

A bit of everything. Park, urban and rocky woodland.

The sprint course crosses the by-pass, the railway, the canal and the River Aire. It goes without saying, hopefully, that all should only be crossed by bridges over them. The Orange course also crosses the River Aire.

The Sprint course also crosses many roads. Please take care with traffic and run wide around corners to avoid collisions with pedestrians.

Dog restrictions

Under tight control please.
