The series is held during the spring season

you to test yourself against the very best.

British Sprint & Middle Distance Events
|
The British Elite Sprint & Middle Distance Events will be held on the 9/10th April at Sandhurst, Camberley. The area consists of mixed forest, park and buildings and a new map will be drawn to IOF sprint distance specifications for the Sprint Distance.
More details will follow but it is being organised as a joint event by Peel Adventure and BAOC (British Army).
The sprint distance will consist of 2 rounds - qualification and final with winning times of 12-15 minutes. The middle distance courses will have winning times of approx 35 minutes. Both as per IOF standards for these disciplines.
Entries will be handled by Jenny Peel using BOF standard event forms but you will need to send in at least one SAE to obtain a car permit to enable you to enter the military academy. Timing will be EMIT so you will need to hire an EMIT card if you do not have one.
Closing date for entries is 28 March 2005 and there will be no EOD as this is a British Championships event.
Entry Fees: £9 seniors / £6 juniors + full-time students per day plus £1 per day EMIT hire.
Courses: Mens and Womens
Classes: Open, 40+, 50+, 60+, U21, U16 |
