Course: Newmarket 2026 Long

7.0 km line

This is a Line course which means you need to get all 15 controls in order. The fastest time wins.

As the crow flies, the distance is 7.0 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.

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 58 so don't forget to visit it.
