This means faster run ning\, so courses are longer than normal and designed to produce winning t imes closer to those achieved in shorter\, tougher terrain.\n\nAs with usu al colour courses\, leg lengths vary with a good mix of long\, medium and short legs for each colour\, with plenty of route choice and detailed navi gation throughout.\n\n\n\nCourse\nLength km\nClimb m\nControls\nStart\n\n\ n🟤 Brown\n11.5\n40\n34 *\nRed\n\n\n🔵 Blue\n9.8\n40\n28\nRed\n\n\n 🟢 Green\n7.4\n30\n21\nRed\n\n\n🟢 Short Green\n5.5\n20\n18\nBlack\n\n \n🟢 Very Short Green\n3.4\n20\n12\nBlack\n\n\n🟢 Light Green\n5.4\n30 \n17\nBlack\n\n\n🟠Orange\n4.4\n15\n23\nBlack\n\n\n🟡 Yellow\n2.7\n15\ n17\nBlack\n\n\n\n* Note that Brown course runners will need a dibber capa ble of recording 34 controls. Neither the old LVO hire dibbers (all red) n or the SI Card 8 (red or blue with black tip) will suffice. There will be a supply of NIOA SIACs for loan if necessary.\nCourse length is measured a s optimum route not straight line distance between controls.\nAll maps are at 1:4000 scale with 2.5 m contour intervals\, printed on waterproof pape r.\nThe Brown\, Blue and Green courses use double sided maps.\nThe Yellow course has been planned to TD2 (no more than 2 decision points between con trols with controls sited on or within sight of handrail features) but may prove a challenge to newer and younger competitors unused to urban orient eering\, so shadowing for safety is encouraged. Where the shadower also pl ans to compete\, he or she should complete their run first. All the other courses are\, as is normal in urban terrain\, at TD3 but with as many rout e choices as possible on most legs without becoming long Sprint courses.\n Although there is little traffic activity on a Sunday morning\, due care m ust be taken when crossing any roads within the estates. The major routes have all been marked as uncrossable\, with underpass or bridge options to choose. The Yellow and Orange courses have a manned crossing early in thei r run with a short taped route up to the next handrail.\n\n\n\nFirst Aid a nd Safety\nThere will be a first aid and a qualified first aider available at registration. Registration is also a safe place for lost children to w ait.\n\nPlease do not come to the event if you are unwell.\n\nPlease bring and carry any medication you might need\, especially inhalers and EpiPen ’s.\n\nIf you come across an injured or ill person\, please stop\, help and get further help. There will likely be qualified first aiders on the c ourse who can stop to provide support.\n\nAll participants must return to download\, whether they complete the course or not. This is to account for all competitors\, ensuring everyone’s safe return.\n\nCourses will clos e and controls collected in at 3pm sharp. If you are still out on the cour se at this time return to finish and download immediately.\n\n\nKit requir ements\nFull body cover is optional.\n\nA whistle (emergency alert is 6 lo ud blasts per minute) is mandatory.\n\nA waterproof jacket may be mandator y if the organisers decide the weather requires one\, so bring one along j ust in case.\n\n\nParking\nCraigavon Civic Centre car park.\n\n\nToilets\n \nCafe\nThere are toilets in the South Lake Leisure Centre\, 300m from Reg istration\, on the walk to the Starts.\n\nCafe IncredABLE in the South Lak e Leisure Centre is open until 5pm.\n\n\n\n \; LOCATION:Craigavon Lakes\, Craigavon Civic Centre\, Craigavon\, Northern Ir eland GEO:54.44998320000001;-6.3863567999999304 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Craigavon Civic Centre\, Cr aigavon\, Northern Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Craigavon Lakes:geo: 54.44998320000001,-6.3863567999999304 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20261025T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
