British Sprint Elite Championships

British Orienteering, North West Orienteering Association, South Ribble Orienteering Club and Chorley Borough Council welcome you to the British Sprint Elite Championships 2010 in Chorley, Lancashire, forming the second half of a weekend of high level orienteering in the North West. The Event is open to all National members of the British Orienteering Federation and In addition to the Elite classes prizes will also be offered to age class competitors. There will also be an event for local BOF members and non affiliated runners to test themselves over parts of the elite courses. (Entry on the day only). This provides an ideal chance for local BOF members and non affiliated runners to experience a 'Sprint Orienteering' event for the first time. The heats will take place in the morning in the Eastern area, an urban area with many cut throughs and alleys, and the central area of traditional parkland with some very runnable woodland areas. The afternoon finals will take place in Chorley town centre finishing in front of the magnificent grade 1 listed Astley Hall. Expected winning times to be 12 – 15 mins. Entry fees £12 Senior, £5 Junior/Student. MW16+ may enter the Elite Men or Elite Women courses. MW14- should enter the Junior course. Note that MW16s will require a parental consent form completing before being allowed to compete. This may be downloaded here (pdf), and copies will also be available at registration. Start times for the heats will be determined by seeding of runners, with approximately even fields in each heat. Therefore any start time preferences expressed are likely to be over-ridden. Start times in the finals will be determined by performance in the heats. See BOF seeding guidelines and Elite Sprint guidelines for more information. Competitors take part at their own risk and are responsible for the own safety at all times, including when crossing roads.

Course 1 will be self contained within Strathaven Park & be between 1k > 1.5k in length & suitable for youngsters & novices. Course 2 will be a Short Urban Cross-Country Course measured as 3k. The Cross-Country bit means that controls must be visited in the prescribed order shown on your map.
