Terlesk-Huck
Classic pine forest planted on undulating to moderately steep sand-dune terrain, with areas of intricate contour detail. Underfoot in most areas is fairly clean, with very good to excellent runnability, but some areas have pampas grass (“cutty grass”) or branches on the ground that slow running speed.
Patches of denser vegetation are mapped with darker shades of green. Areas where visibility is good but running speed is reduced are mapped as green stripe.

Driving Instructions
Access to the forest is via Slater Road, off South Head Road. Follow event signage from Slater Road to reach parking. Parking is approximately 20 minutes from Slater Road.
Do not arrive at Slater Road before 12:00 PM, the forest gate will be shut and entry will not be possible.
The landowners on Slater Road have kindly allowed forest access through their property, provided all speed limits are strictly observed. Please keep your speed to 20 kph while travelling through the landowner property to help ensure continued access for future events. Once in the forest the speed limit is 50 kph.
The route to the arena passes through an embargoed area for King’s Birthday 2026. You must not stop or exit your vehicle along the route until you reach parking.
Please ensure your headlights are on at all times while driving in the forest.

Quarantine
There is no pre race or post race quarantine. However, competitors must not go to the finish area until after completing their race.

Pre-Start
The route to the pre-start can only be accessed from the arena. It is 1.3 km long and crosses forested and rough open terrain. The route is marked by strips of pink tape hanging from branches at frequent intervals. Ensure you allow enough time to get to the pre-start.
There will be a clear and check station set up outside the call up area.
The call up is -3 minutes:
-3 minutes Enter pre-start corral, check off name, SI check
-2 minutes Collect loose control descriptions
-1 minutes Wait behind map
0 minutes Start
Start Interval
The start interval is 2 minutes.
Gear Drop
There is no gear drop.
Map Flip
Both courses have one map flip. The sides will be clearly labelled on the map in purple text.
When a map flip occurs the first side of the map will be facing down at the map pickup point.
When you reach the last control of Side 1, you turn the map over to Side 2. This is also indicated on the control descriptions. On Side 2, the location of the last control of Side 1 is marked with symbol 715. You will continue navigating from this point.
Control numbers continue after a map flip.
