Chasing Sprint

Chicksands Wood

Shefford  

Sunday, 27 April 2008


Note that this event will use electronic punching and will have pre-marked A4 maps and will be bagged.
The Chasing Sprint will have a prologue (normal punching start after registration), followed by a chasing start. Your start time for the chasing start will be 12:30 plus your time for the prologue (e.g. if your time for the prologue is 31:06 your start time for the chase will be 13:01:06). Whoever finishes the sprint first is therefore the winner!
