Braintree Bocking
Essex Stragglers Orienteering Society (SOS) welcomes you to our Braintree Bocking MapRun event.
Details
There is a fire hydrant sign at each virtual control (even though this is not necessary for a virtual course!).
Terrain:
Urban with some trails and open parkland
Parking
The most convenient parking is in Sainsburys Supermarket car park in Braintree Town Centre, 1 Tofts Walk, CM7 1XH. Note that this is a PAY car park, (although the fee can be refunded if you make a purchase, it is free only after 6pm). Park at north end of car park and exit onto Coggeshall Road. Cross road with care, and turn right. Entrance to park is approximately 100m along the road.
Course: Braintree Bocking
6.0 km line
This is a Line course which means you need to get all 13 controls in order. The fastest time wins.
As the crow flies, the distance is 6.0 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.
