Mickleham 1 hour Mini Trail
Mickleham Village Hall, Mickleham, Dorking, Surrey
Dell Close, Mickleham, Dorking RH5 6EE, UKSun 5th January 2020
Starting at 10:15
Organiser's Description
Trail Run only - using a 1:25k waterproof map, plan your route and navigate to as many of the 10 clip style checkpoints as possible in 1 hour. The CPs are located much closer to one another than in the other events. Unlike other events, this is not a race, so there are no prizes for those collecting the most CPs. You plan your own strategy and route, deciding how many CPs you want to visit. Distance covered depends on how many checkpoints are visited; it can be anything from 3k to around 8k, and depends on your level of fitness, and on your running and map reading skills.
