Details updated 26/10/23 10am Updates are underlined

There are still a couple of maps available on each of the senior courses & sprint if you want a late entry. Don't forget that the clocks go back on Sunday morning.

Location of Assembly is adjacent to the junction of Wiske Avenue & Broadley Way HU15 1GD. There is no parking at assembly and please do not park in the competition area marked as OOB i.e. South of Assembly and South of Welton Road (main road E-W through Brough).

Parking is DIY roadside parking - see map below for suggested areas. If coming via the A63, exit at the ‘Elloughton Brough Welton’ exit. The access to Stanley Jackson Way & Common Lane is off the slip road to the A63 – take care because if you miss the turn, you could be heading West on the A63 with no exit for 4km. The furthest parking area suggested on the map is 700m from assembly. Please park considerately and share transport where possible.

The nearest railway station is Brough which is 2km from assembly. From the north side of the station (trains arriving from the West will pull in on the north side) go east out of the car park along the alleyway. At the road turn left (north) onto Skillings Lane & continue to the traffic lights. Turn right (east) onto Welton Road, past Morrisons until you get to a large roundabout. Turn left, then right into Loxley Way. Turn left into Wiske Avenue and Assembly is 100m on your right.

Enter through HALO’s entry system HERO. Entries are open until 23:59 on Sunday 22^nd October.

In addition to the normal urban courses, there is a sprint course open to everyone. If you enter an urban course, the sprint costs £2. Note that in HERO, the sprint needs to be entered separately. The cost will initially look the same as the other courses but a discount will be applied if you have entered another course as well.

Dibber hire available - £1 or £3 for SIAC

Download for the sprint course is separate from the other courses - please be careful to get the correct one. And don't forget to download your urban course before you clear for the sprint!

Start & Finish are adjacent to Assembly. In Assembly there will be loos, a tent for bag storage, key drop, download, enquiries & first aid. No water will be provided.

10:30am – 12:30pm. Courses close at 2:30pm. You must report to download by 2:30pm, whether or not you complete your course.

AB is a 'Short Race' for Men Open, Women Open & Men Vet. Courses C-H & Sprint are within the normal length course guidelines for Urban events. Expected running distances will be within the range of 30-50% over the straight line distances quoted in the course details above.

All courses, including H, cross minor housing estate roads. Courses other than H also cross one busier road - please take care. Courses F & G will have two 1 minute timed out road crossings, one on each part of their map.

Courses AB - G      size A3 double sided, scale 1:3500

Course H               size A4 single sided, scale 1:3500

Sprint                    size A4 double sided, scale 1:3500

All courses except H will have double sided maps; the last control on Part 1 will be the first control shown on Part2.

Modern, mixed style, landscaped housing with areas of grassed parkland. Basically flat i.e. minimal climb. The area is dissected by a North South road which may have fast flowing traffic. The younger juniors and the sprint course stay in the more compact Eastern area where traffic is generally more sparse and not as fast flowing. The older juniors cross into the Western area using a manned timed out crossing – 1 minute each way.

You must report to download even if you retire. All courses cross roads, please follow the highway code and take care. Take care going round blind corners and along alleys – give way to pedestrians and other users.

In case of injury, there are urgent treatment centres at Beverley & Goole. The nearest A&E department is at Hull Royal Infirmary. Maps available at enquiries.
