Your Club Needs You!
SROC has qualified for the CompassSport Trophy Final, to be held at Tankersley/Hesley Woods, near Sheffield, on Sunday 17 October. These are interesting woods with a lot of detail. You are strongly urged to look at past maps for the area on the SYO RouteGadget page.
The provisional start time range is 10.27 to 13.30.
The top 13 results across a range of courses will score but we need as many people as possible to compete in order to give us a good spread across the courses. Everyone is most welcome to take part, and all finishers make a valuable contribution to the club’s score, either by being in the scoring 13 or by finishing ahead of other clubs’ runners.
I have to make all our entries on behalf of the club. If you want to take part, please let me (Miriam) know as early as possible and by Sunday 26 September at the latest. This gives me a day or so to complete the spreadsheet before the actual closing date. I need your name, BOF number, SI number (the event will be SIAC enabled), and current age class. Note I already have these details if you ran in the recent sprint relays. Also let me know if you are prepared to run up or if you have special requests e.g. split start times. In order to score you need to run on the correct course for your age class or a higher one.
If you ran in the 2020 heats for a club you are tied to that club for the final.
For information a list of courses and associated age classes is below. Note that the light green and yellow courses are non-competitive but also need to be entered in advance through me. As a general rule, I will allocate the later start times on each course to the faster orienteers. However sometimes special circumstances, e.g. the need to start parents near to young children might over-ride this.
SROC has kindly agreed to pay the entry fee.
Further details will appear on the website and flyer here as they become available
