Covenanters Wood courses transferred to MapRunFSunday 10th January until Sunday 31st January

New restrictions force the CANCELLATION OF LOCAL EVENT ON 16th JANUARY so courses have now been transferred to MapRunF 

The bad news is that due to enhanced level 4 restrictions coming into place from midnight tonight (Monday 4th Jan) we have to CANCEL the COVENANTERS WOOD EVENT scheduled for 16th JANUARY.

The good news is that the courses are already planned and have been transferred to MapRunF. They are available from Sunday 10th January until Sunday 31st January.

There are 3 courses:
Covenanters January Challenge Yellow 2.0km, 35m climb, 14 controls
Covenanters January Challenge Orange 2.7km, 60m climb, 17 controls
Covenanters January Challenge Green 3.9km, 130m climb, 26 controls

If you need the pdf version of the courses these are available on MapRunF section of SOA website.

The courses will be a good challenge without the visibility of the kites!
