Pre-event Details

Map / Terrain

Ham Hill is a quarried parkland on a hill top looking out across Somerset. There are complex detailed contour features and areas of dense vegetation (that will be avoided on the courses).

Course Information

The format is for teams of two who each run two legs each. The legs are colour coded and fairly short (with approximate winning times of 20 minutes).

A team can be made up of two participants who compete on different courses - so you can be in a team with a partner, or a parent can team up with their child. Each competitor just does their usual colour course and as the win times should be the same, everyone competes equally. (for example, a M45 and a W12 can form a team - the M45 does their usual Brown and the W12 does their usual Yellow)

A team where both members are either in Devon or QO, will score for the overall Devon vs QO competition, but we welcome any teams from other clubs who want to take part. You can also enter as an individual and we will pair you up with someone.
