Bar Hill
West Anglian Orienteering Club (WAOC) welcomes you to our Bar Hill MapRun event. There are 3 courses available.
Details
N.B. The Long and Short 2023 courses are Start Anywhere. This means you can start at any control you want and follow all the legs round in order. If you start anywhere else except for the marked start, the Start/Finish location will become just another control. You will finish at the control you started at.
The score course is all within the ring road. Controls 1-10 can be reached without crossing roads so suitable for juniors (a number of other controls can too, but it may not be optimal route, e.g. 12, 17, 18, 22, 24, 26, 27, 28, 30). Please avoid running on the path past the start unless you want to finish early.

Course: Bar Hill Long 2023
5.9 km line
This is a Line course which means you need to get all 21 controls in order. The fastest time wins.
As the crow flies, the distance is 5.9 km. It is likely you will travel quite a bit further; in an urban environment, the quickest route may be as much as 50% longer.
This is a Start Anywhere course which means you do not need to start/finish at the triangle. You can pick the most convenient control and start there. Remember you need to return to the same control that you started at in order to finish. The start/finish control on the map becomes a valid, scoring control with number 301 so don't forget to visit it.
