National Orienteering League relay format for 23rd April 2006

A feature of the relays will be a taped route for all National Orienteering League runners.

All NOL and JNOL runners will assemble at the start for a taped route run through intricate terrain (approx. 1 Km) before collecting their first leg map. All runners, 1st, 2nd and 3rd must assemble and complete the route at the 10.30 mass start. Only after all team runners have completed the taped route can the 1st leg runner collect their map for the start of the course.  

Course setter Warren Key comments: Courses have been set to keep the competition close and tight but separated by technical control sites. A taped route for NOL runners is made with interesting viewing in mind. Many controls close together so check numbers. A special course-setting feature is a large sand-dune amphitheatre will be used as a viewing mound which will give spectacular views of runners. Every leg runner will be seen twice and the last 3 controls on every course are visible to the spectator for excellent viewing. Note: all courses go through a spectator control just prior to half-way, and then near the finish.

Final Registration  

Final team confirmation and chest number collection for the relays will be available for state/club managers after the completion of racing of day 3 on Easter Monday.

Emergency changes and SI stick hire collection will be available on the morning of the event from 8.30 to 9.30am.  No team changes will be accepted after 9.30am.
