Discount for entering all the Summer Sprints in advance!

With a brand new area and two other new maps, together with a great sprint event format, there is every reason not to miss any of the SROC Summer Sprint races. To help even more we are offering all 6 events for the price of 4, if entered in advance or at the first event on 24th May.

Come and test your running speed and mental agility at 6 weekday evening events in May, June & July.
Each event in the series follows a similar format: a short prologue,* start times 6.30—7.00 pm, followed soon after by full-on head to head racing in the reverse-order final! Fastest from the prologue start last in the final, making for an exciting finish as runners twist and turn around the course.
This format closely replicates the experience of a major sprint orienteering race whilst still fitting easily into an evening and allowing time for socialising, eating and drinking at the post event venue.

Event 1 Tue 24th May Clitheroe Castle — New Area!
Event 2 Tue 7th June Williamson Park, Lancaster
Event 3 Mon 13th June Salt Ayre, Lancaster
Event 4 Tue 21st June Yarrow Valley, Chorley
Event 5 Tue 5th July Lancaster University — New map
Event 6 Tue 12th July University of Cumbria — New map

Points will be awarded at each event, based on position, and age class prizes (Junior 14–, Open and Vet 55+) for the series will be awarded at the SROC Club Picnic on 16th July at Barrowfield near Kendal. Scoring system: 1st 60 points, 2nd 55, 3rd 51, 4th 48, 5th 46, 6th 45, 7th 44 . . . 50th 1point. Best 4 scores to count.

This series is open to all, whether or not you are a member of SROC.
