Race Guide
Didcot Urban Race 2014
Date / Time
Length
4.47 miles (7.2 km)
Description
A run with a difference! Race between the checkpoints as fast as you can, registering each one with an electronic timing chip, deciding your own route around the course. An orienteering race does not follow a set route. Instead you have to visit a series of checkpoints and the challenge is to decide what you think the quickest route will be between them and then to run your own way along that route using a special orienteering map.Courses for all ages and abilities, from 2km to 7km plus.
Race HQ, registration and parking will be at Didcot Town FC. Just come along any time between 10am and midday. Everyone starts at staggered intervals and you can start any time up to 12:30pm. Help will be available and no experience of orienteering is necessary.Check out the flyer on our website for more info, or drop us an email at the address below.
