foot.

addition there will be a Novice course of around 1.5 km foot and 5 km
MTB. The novice course is suitable for all levels and you can even bring
along the kids and head off as a pair. The novice course will keep to
the east of the freeway.
All competitors will start off with around a 1.5 km sprint type course
before heading off on their bikes. The long course will tackle a few of
the hilly sections of Killingworth with the short course cruising along
on the single tracks. Even though we are in to the hotter months there
will be plenty of riding in the shadier areas. Both the MTB and foot
stages will test your orienteering skills, go fast or take it easy!
After the first MTB leg there will be a second map handout for the
second foot stage using the hills around the south of the MTB tracks.
The long course will pick up all the controls with the short course
picking up a select number of controls.

punch boxes on one of the foot stage maps, No control cards! Just rock
up to registration, check your sport ident and away you go.
