Map / Terrain

Brun Valley Forest & Parks area is made up of two parks, an old colliery site and the Brun Valley Forest. Shorter courses will stay within the parks, whilst longer courses will visit all areas, including the more technical parts of the forest.

There is one timed-out crossing on all courses at a busy double road junction. Marshals will assist. Take your time!

Red course: All events in the Spring Series will offer a long course for both runners and progressing orienteers, mostly on easy terrain and at a moderate technical standard.

IMPORTANT - Road crossing: All courses have one double-road crossing. The last control before the road crossing to the first control after the road crossing (a distance of approximately 150m) is timed out, meaning that the time you take between these two controls is not counted in your total race time. Take your time and cross safely. On request, juniors will be accompanied.

The Start for all courses is at the north corner of Queen's Park. Less than 300m from any parking location. The Finish is near to Bank Hall Car Park. Roads in the area will be very busy. Children must be accompanied.
