Pre-entry form for this event - this is the preferred route of entry but there will be limited entry on the day. Closing date for pre-entries is 23:00 on 22nd April.
For people new to the sport a 'dibber' is an electronic chip that stores your time at each control: if you do not own one then you can use a club dibber but need to let us know that you need it. One dibber is needed for each individual or pair (if two people are going round together).
Please remember that should you develop Covid symptoms before the event you must not participate in the event.
Start and Finish are both located in Dock Park
Courses on offer are:
Short (Entirely within Dock Park) - 1.0 km
Medium (Part Dock Park and part the grass area and quiet streets over the pedestrian bridge to Troqueer) - 2.4 km
Long (Mainly in the Troqueer residential area, finishing in Dock Park) - 5 km
Start times will be 10:30 - 12:00.
Dibbers will be used for the time taken on the courses - the only SI boxes in use will be the Start and the Finish. At other locations we will be using the traditional street O method. For each control you need to enter on a piece of paper the answer to the question on the paper e.g. Number on lamp post ____. So remember to bring something to write with.
Kites and SI units may be in use on the short course.
