Histon and Impington
West Anglian Orienteering Club (WAOC) welcomes you to our Histon and Impington MapRun event. There are 6 courses available.
Details
The 2024 score courses are identical, they just have different time limits to fit in with our league.
N.B. The 2022 long and short courses are Start Anywhere courses (the 2023 ones are not). 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.
Please be very careful crossing the guided busway and the High Street.
Cultivated fields are OUT OF BOUNDS and must not be crossed except on paths marked on the map.
Parking
There is free parking adjacent to the village green and the village car park behind the Methodist Church on the high street.
Course: HI Aug2022 Long
6.4 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 6.4 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 70 so don't forget to visit it.
