Continue south across the junction of the one-way system on to Ashley Road. Continue south on Ashley Road until Rosebery Park is on your right-hand side; the start is at the southern end of Rosebery Park. It will be possible to go straight to the start\,\, a bag drop will be established near the finish; otherwise\, the event centre (and download) is accessed a further 5-10mins walk down Ashley Road. \nHelp and advice:\nThere will be plenty of helpers that are able to give advice etc from 10.30 onwards. So\, if anything below is unclear then please don’t hesitate to ask. \nMap:\nNew map by Ian Roberts (MV) surveyed 2025\, overprinted with the courses and printed on waterproof paper. Drawn with OCAD2020 to ISSprOM2019-2-Revision 6.  For all courses\, scale 1:4\,000 with 2.5 metre contours\, 120 metres between magnetic north lines. Control descriptions will be printed on the map and loose at the start lane. Course 7 will have text and IOF pictorial descriptions on the map\, but loose descriptions will have text only. The other courses will have IOF pictorial symbols on the map and loose in the start lanes. Double-sided maps show the changeover control on both sides (i.e. not an entire leg). The printed map does not have a full legend; a full ISSprOM 2019-2 legend is at maprunner.co.uk/ \n \nThe map does show uncrossable/out-of-bounds features. Crossing out-of-bounds/uncrossable features will result in disqualification. Incursion on private land (olive green) can lead to complaints to you/us\, so please avoid. You must not cross such features even if this appears to be physically possible. Our sport’s reputation and future use of the area depends on your respect for the rules\, your conduct\, and your courtesy to others. \nCourses: Contactless SI electronic punching will be available. Course distances subject to final controlling and will be confirmed in Final Details in due course. \n\n\n\n\n	CourseClassesOptimum Distance (km)Climb (m)Straight-line distance (km)ControlsPaper sizes\n\n\n\n\n	1Men's Open (MO)11.3857.826SRA3 double sided\n\n\n	2Women's Open (WO)\nMen's Vets (MV) (M40+)9.6656.927SRA3 double sided\n\n\n	3Women's Vets (WV) (W40+)\nMen's SuperVets (MSV) (M55+)8.2606.120SRA3 double sided\n\n\n	4Women's SuperVets (WSV) (W55+)\nMen's UltraVets (MUV) (M65+)6.8405.321A3 double sided\n\n\n	5Women's UltraVets (WUV) (W65+)\nWomen's HyperVets (WHV) (W75+)\nMen's HyperVets (MHV) (M75+)5.3203.717A4 double sided\n\n\n	6Junior Women (JW) (W16-)\nJunior Men (JM) (M16-)4.6303.618A4 double sided\n\n\n	7Young Junior Women (YJW) (W12-)\nYoung Junior Men (YJM) (M12-)2.0152.016A4 double sided\n\n\n\n\nOther than courses 6 & 7\, courses will be typical urban terrain consisting of a mixture of hard standing\, tarmac roads and pavements as well as paths and grass within open spaces. \nCourses 6 crosses minor roads with only light slow-moving traffic and has one marshalled timed-out crossing of a major road at a pedestrian crossing. Course 7 does not cross any roads (but does cross a driveway entrance) apart from the marshalled timed-out crossing of a major road at a pedestrian crossing. Both courses 6 and 7 are largely within parkland\, with use of pavements of adjacent roads. The courses have been checked by the Controller. We can arrange for the course to be shown to a parent at registration if there is any concern for a child’s safety. Adults who are shadowing: to remain competitive\, complete your own run first. \nThere will be no String course but there is a children’s play area in Roseberry Park. \nPlease be courteous to other park users: it is a bank holiday weekend. E.g. avoid crossing any spontaneous (i.e. unmapped!) sports games in the parks or family gatherings etc. \nCompetitors under 16 on the day of the event are not allowed to compete on courses 1 to 5 unless accompanied by an adult. \nSafety Briefing: \n\nCompetitors take part at their own risk and are always responsible for their own safety.\nIt is part of the ethos of our sport that competitors are expected to stop and help a fellow injured competitor. If it is unlikely the competitor will be able to return to the event centre\, officials should be notified as soon as possible.\nAll runners will encounter uneven surfaces – please take care.\nTake care negotiating steps especially on descent. Particularly uneven steps and after and during rain when they could be slippery.\nThe competition takes place in an urban area alongside members of the public with numerous road crossings necessary. The speed limit within the competition area does not exceed 30mph. Please take care when running and look out for moving traffic\, bicycles\, members of the public. Please use pedestrian crossings if possible. Brightly coloured clothing is recommended to mitigate the risk of collisions. Please take particular care not to obstruct other members of the public when running around unsighted corners\, along narrow paths and emerging from narrow alleys onto pavements. Local residents have priority close to their houses even if they obstruct your progress. Please do not alarm them.\nWithin all open spaces you may encounter dogs being walked.\nWithin Rosebery Park there is a pond. Most courses\, including the junior courses\, go near/alongside this feature\, on paths. Parents\, please remind your children to take particular care to remain on the path alongside this.\nParticularly for junior competitors\, there is as ever the risk of stranger danger. Parents: Please remind your juniors to exercise vigilance. There will be no sad/smiley faces on course 7 that would otherwise inform competitors they have made a wrong/correct turn or navigation decision. See below: Safeguarding Child Protection & Photography\nWeather-related risks: running surfaces may be slippery after or during rain. There is a risk of dehydration in hot conditions so please hydrate before and after your run. Drinking water will be available at the Event Centre. If it is forecast to be very hot\, a drink station will be provided at a manned control.\nYOU MUST DOWNLOAD\, even if you retire\, so we know you have returned safely.\nPlease make us aware at enquiries of existing relevant medical conditions and unexpected reactions/allergies that we should be aware of before running.\nSafety bearing back to the Event Centre varies depending on where you are on the course. If lost\, please ask a member of the public or another orienteer to direct you to Woodcote Grove.\nAny risk of dangerous litter\, potential for broken glass and used needles at controls will be minimised by a specific check for these on the lead up to and on the morning of the event. However\, please remain vigilant for this risk whilst running on other parts of the course.\nThere will be a First Aid kit at Enquiries/Download. This will operate on a “self-help” basis\, although there will be a club First-Aider available.\nThe nearest A&E hospital is Epsom General Hospital\, Dorking Road\, Epsom KT18 7EG (500m SW of Rosebery Park)\nCovid: Please follow the British Orienteering Participant Code of Conduct.\nCourses close at 14:30\n\nA full risk assessment has been prepared and will be available upon request at Download/Enquiries.

Most controls will be attached to “street furniture” of some sort. If dibbing the control please ensure you dib from the front – they do not always work when punched from the rear.  Others\, including the Finish\, will be mounted on standard orienteering stakes. There will be a SIAC battery test at the Start. However\, if a SIAC “dibber” battery fails then “dib” at all controls. \nStarts: One start for all courses\, approximately 10-minute walk from Event Centre\, in Rosebery Park. Start times have been selected by competitors and are from 10.30 to 12.30. If you are late for your selected start\, you will be allowed to start when there is a free start time for your course. There are no toilets at the start. Juniors on courses 6 & 7 must start between 11:30 and 12:30. \n\nNote: Novices on all courses well before 12:30pm\, as a safety measure and to avoid possible disappointment\, as courses close at 14:30. \nStart procedure: \n\nBefore call-up: SIAC Battery test unit and clear stations.
