The course will be forked (farsta) and the course setter has to prepare unique courses for each team. In order reserve a map for your team, please register your team by sending an email to zbynek.cernin@
A few maps will be available on first come first serve basis.
Details: This a race of 2 member teams. Each member runs two courses of 2.5km. All teams starts the same time. When member one finishes, he/she hands over his/her map to second member and the second member run the same course as the first one. When the second member finishes, the first member takes new map with another course. When the first member finishes his second part, he/she hands over the map to the second member. First team in finish wins, if all members punched correct controls.
The two legs that each member will run will share three controls. It gives together 16 variants, so it means that you never know if the person who is running by or with you is heading to the same control. For gearheads who want to know exactly what this might look like, an example of a farsta course is given here, at the OCIN website.
The total time (both legs) for each team member will be consider as result for Ultimate Orienteer series.
