Start point

Format

Three courses designed by Julien:
Squirrel – 2.1 km, very easy, suitable for bigger kisd (or small ones accompanied), entirely in the residential area of Kirchberg
Rabbit – 3.3 km, residential area and Coque park, minimal climb
Deer – 5.7 km, residential area and Coque park, with hills
Straight line distances given – optimum routes are about 50% longer. Flags are 15cm kites. Be careful when crossing the streets.

Timing

 SportIdent (SIAC enabled). Bring your SI timing chip if you have one, but if not, you can borrow one of the Club’s.

Map

 1:7,500, ISSOM-ish, 5 metre contours, by Julien Gaffuri, 2019 with recent updates. “Zoom” enlargement of a complex maze section. Statues and childrens’ play equipment in the park area are generally NOT mapped. Laser printed on Pretex waterproof paper.

Terrain

 Mostly urban streets and paths, one part in the d’Coque park, plus a tiny bit of forest for the Deer course.

Safety

 Please take care to avoid all moving cars, bikes and buses, especially on the more main roads. You take part entirely at your own risk.

Our Extraodinary General Meeting will be held after the race (see the email sent on 16th May), starting at 20.15, with a “floor picnic” in the empty flat (we’re moving out). We'll have four chairs and a picnic blanket, so please bring something to sit on (e.g. a foldable chair, cushion etc.). Food and drinks will be provided.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
