Pre Event Info
Double Sprint based around Centre Vale Park
This is a local event.
In the double sprint format there are 2 sprint courses. You run both courses and your final time is the sum of the two course times. Sprint courses are shorter courses with some controls close together to get you thinking on your feet even faster than usual!
There will also be a yellow course, or it is possible to run just 1 leg of the sprint to get a time for that leg but no overall result.
