=Adventure Race
The adventure race has the basic format of a score course. That is, competitors have a certain amount of time to visit as many controls as possible. Each control is worth a certain number of points, and points are deducted for every minute or part minute late returning.
The adventure race differs slightly from this, in that at certain controls there are other activities which can be completed to gain extra points.
=Car and Bike Parking
Car parking is available here
Except for moving race equipment, bikes should not be brought to the assembly area. Please use the bike racks around Churchill college.
=Assembly area
Please assemble at the NW corner of the tennis courts (see map above) at 18:30.
The start and finish are adjacent to the assembly area.
Please do not bring valuables to the training. Due to the large numbers of SI boxes being used for the training, the planner may need to roam the area, and cannot guarantee the safety of belongings.
You leave any belongings unattended at your own risk.
=Mass Start
There will be a mass start at approximately 18:45. It will be a punching start, but all runners will start within a very short period.
Anyone who arrives late may still be able to start but will not receive the full time limit.
Courses will close 50 minutes after the mass start. Anyone returning later than this will be disqualified.
=Time Limit
| Time limit | 45 minutes |
| Control | 10 points |

=SI Cards
All competitors will require two SI cards. The second SI card must be a version 5 or 6 dibber. We will have SI cards to lend.

=Activities
The exact activities shall remain a secret until the race...
Each of the activities will have an instructions sheet at the score control.
Some of the activities have a limit to the number of people that can be taking part. If the activity is full (e.g. there are no maps left), you will have to continue round the score course.
Some of the activities will require you to download your second dibber. This will be made clear on the instructions sheet. Download will be signed.
