Thame Urban Race
Up to Sunday 22nd December Monday 23rd December on Timing chip hire (SIAC) £2 extra |
To enter you must first Log In or Register your Details with SiEntries.
This is an urban orienteering race around the streets of Thame, which lies 10 miles east of Oxford. Thame has a mediaeval town centre around the Butter Market and Cornmarket, with lots of alleys; parkland including the picturesque Cuttlebrook Nature Reserve; and a complex 1970s residential estate (Lea Park) with a plethora of cul-de-sacs and open areas, linked by numerous alleys and paths. This all provides lots of route choices around the courses!
For those new to orienteering, urban races are a great introduction to the sport - the navigation is less demanding than for forest events. Even so, the streets of Thame will provide plenty of challenges to keep you on your toes. Runners in particular should find urban orienteering an enjoyable challenge.
Whilst entry classes are age-based, there is NO requirement that you enter the class for your age. If you prefer a longer or shorter course, then enter whichever course you want by entering the appropriate 'Other' class or one of the two 'Colour' classes.
Note though that those aged under 16 on race day may only enter courses 6 or 7. And under 12s may only enter course 7.
