Map

• Little Mt Ross:

• Mount Ross Station was mapped by Michael Wood, Mapsport Services.

• First used at the 1998 National Champs.

• Little Mount Ross is a section of this map.

• Scale  1:2,500 – Contour interval 2.5m.

Terrain

Complex goldmining sluicing area, relatively open with multiple rock features.

Event

• Wear gaiters and your oldest socks - the grass seeds in the area are very hard to remove.

• Starts from 3pm - 5pm.

• Event Centre start/finish within 300m of parking.

• We can start up to 4 at a time on course 1, and 2 at a time on course 2. So come as a group and run against each other. 

• 3 courses; a longer and a shorter Red/Orange, and an Orangey/Yellow:

  • Course 1 RO 1.8km – 22 controls (<40m climb)

  • Course 2 RO 1.2km – 13 controls

  • Course 3 YO 0.9km – 16 controls.

• All courses have less than 50m climb and starts are at 1 minuite intervals.

• Yellow or White competitors can either do the shortest course together in pairs, or together with a more experienced helper / shadow, after their helper has done their own course.

• SI Air; punching start

Competitors’ information

• There will be no loose control descriptions as there are different versions of the same course starting simultaneously.

• Note if coming from Dunedin, it is the Outram Rodeo this day.  Horse floats and trucks will be turning off SH87 into their parking area.  Allow extra time for slowing traffic through Outram, and be cognisant that the famous Outram Four Square ice creams may have to be queued for if it's a hot afternoon.
