Course Information

Green: Approx 5km

Orange: Approx 2.5km

There is also a Harris Relay Score for teams of 3. This works as follows:

All team members run simultaneously; in a Harris relay there is none of the usual waiting around for a previous leg runner to come in. The course is split into two parts – a set of ‘spine’ controls which all team members must visit, and a number of other controls which must be visited by at least one team member.

The team dibs the start control, and is then issued with a map for each member. The spine is marked as a normal linear course, though the controls can be visited in any order, and the other controls are simply shown as for a score course.

The team decides who will visit each of the other controls, as well, of course, as also visiting all the spine controls, and then all runners set off. The team’s time is taken from the earliest start dib to the last member’s finish dib. Time penalties, which could be as much as 10 minutes per control, are added for any spine control missed by any team member, and any other control not visited by anyone in the team.

Mostly open forest, however vegetation is very high this time of year and will constrain movement. There are also a number of additional bike trails in the area.
