Final Event Details

Claro will host a YHOA Night League event at Hell Wath in Ripon on Saturday 16th November 2019.  Hell Wath is parkland on the edge of Ripon with  runnable open and tricky-at-night patches of woodland.  The long and medium courses will visit nearby streets but since there is no need to cross a busy road these are still suitable for under 16s.

For a bit of fun and to make the best of this small area we are planning a novel race format. The long and medium courses will start with two separate mass starts to a score event (i.e. take the controls in any order) of about 10 controls. When they have visited the score controls long course competitors will return to the start to collect a map for a conventional line course. The mass start for the long course will be at 5.45pm and for the medium course at 6.00pm.
We hope to fit in the starts for the short course between those times. Please make sure you are here in good time – the registration is open 5.00-6.00 and is indoors so will be warm and dry even if the outside is not. Organisers may allow late starts after the mass start but please inform us in advance if you are likely to be late. Parking is adjascent to registration. The start is 250m from registration.
