Guidelines for each event:
- Short (c3-3.5km straight line) and Long (c5-6km straight line) or another format if it works better for an area (e.g. Short and Long Score)
- Starts from 6.30pm to 7.30pm, courses close 8.45pm
- Start location should be a pub or similar
- If possible, events are set up on MapRun to allow for on the night analysis, as well as Anytime Catch up for thise not able to attend on the night
- Mainly street based, although can offer off road route choice, if considered safe in the dark
- Usual format of fire hydrants, supplemented by other road furniture, and/or homemade hydrant signs where courses would benefit from not only using hydrants (to increase route choice for example
