Notes

Car parking: on Gorse Hill, approach from Leicester Road Anstey.

Terrain: Most controls are in the country park which is a mix of open land and woodlands. Some controls are also in residential areas. Brambles and nettles in places, so full leg cover needed.

45 min Score Course: All controls of equal value (10pts per control), 10pt penalty for each minute (or part minute) over 45 mins.

Score Strategy: As well as speed and navigation, Score courses present strategic challenges. Your first strategy decision will at the moment of opening your map.

Start & Finish: Close to the parking area. Mass Start at 6.30pm.

Entries: are now open via the link below. Close on Sunday 14th August 2022.

Control Collection: In order to move on to the presentation as quickly as possible, it would be helpful to have many energetic volunteers to help with control collection immediately after the course closes. With 8 or 9 collectors, each would cover less than 1.5Km to collect 3 to 5 controls.

Public Park: Please respect other users of the area including dogs, horse riders, and runners. Take care crossing any roads in the residential area.

The LEI Score Cup: trophies (male and female) will be presented to the top LEI runners at the Club Dinner later in the year. The event though is open to anyone from any club.

Summer League Presentations: Everyone who has run at least two Summer League events, is invited to attend the post event presentation, where there will be food provided. This will be held at Anstey Nomads Football Club. The Nomads are on the north west edge of the Castle Hill map about 1km from where the event is starting from.
As usual there will be a free buffet and guests will be able to buy drinks from the bar in the club.
The evening is open to regular Summer Leaguers from any club. The event is also open to partners of those who have planned/organised one of the events in the league.
Pre-booking is required: If you will be attending, please email Chris Phillips by 10th August, so that we can order enough food. NB entering the event does not equal food at the buffet! Don’t forget to pre-book!
