Format

Two courses

  • Rabbit   3.0 km – medium, almost flat
  • Deer      5.0 km – longer, moderate climb

Distances are straight line – optimum routes are about 50% longer.

Planner – Sasha Rybakov. Courses will be more technical and interesting in parts (similar to sprint events), and with more controls, than usual.

Controls must be visited in the order set. Flags are 15cm kites – timing at each control using SPORTident (SIAC enabled). Bring your own SI timing chip if you can, but if not, you can borrow a LuxOC one.
Timing Timing of all participants to the nearest second, results will be published, and included in the LuxSUL league table.
Map 1:5,000 (not 1:4,000), ISSprOM, 5 metre contours. University campus area and Parc Tony Neuman mapped by Cedric Gauthier in August 2023 to professional standard, rest of the area mapped less thoroughly. Laser-printed, on Pretex semi-waterproof A4 paper.
Terrain Mostly residential urban streets, but more complex park and campus terrain in parts. Training shoes optimal.
Safety

Everyone takes part entirely at their own risk. Please take great care, especially on or crossing the more main roads. High visibility clothing strongly recommended.
After the run Some refreshments provided – to drink and to eat.
