Two sprint courses will be provided, the first will be Roberts Park and Saltaire (adjacent to assembly) and the second will be in Lower Baildon for seniors, and around Titus Salt School for juniors. Seniors will have a short walk (~1km) to the start and from the finish for race 2.
The current plan is to provide 4 sprint length courses for each, 1-3 will be for seniors, and 4 will be for juniors. Age category recommendations to follow.
Course 1 will be planned for a EWT of a top M21E of between 12-15 minutes, course 3 planned for the oldest seniors in mind, course 2 in between.
