Description
This is a traditional individual start orienteering race. As this week has a forested section, for any beginners looking to stay out of the woods the beginner course is the same as the intermediate course minus a small portion in the woods. If you are confident in your forest orienteering the advanced course spends as much time as possible in the small forest.
