What Is a Navigational Route Description Trail?
Some key details:
You start at your sign up time from 5:30pm up until 7pm. Simply collect your trail instructions and number from registration 5 minutes before your start time. This is a much more relaxed running event. You can run with a group of friends if you like or solo if you enjoy the peace of the countryside!
You don’t need any special navigation/map skills – the route is written on a piece of A4 in large print (this also has your race number and drinks voucher on). The description will include abbreviations (a key explaining these is included at the top of the instructions) to save space so for example a line might read:
- ‘TL at FPS’…which translates as ‘Turn left at finger post sign’.
80% of the course is on public trails with the rest on quiet country roads – entrants are encouraged to kindly respect and follow both the Highway and Countryside Codes https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-countryside-code
- A short race briefing video will be provided to entrants close to the race date with full details covering anything you need to know for the day.
