Details

Description:	Sprint Race around the alleyways and cobbled streets of the Old City, multi-level sixties walkways, and a Georgian square, all topped off with a taste of the Floating Harbour. <http://www.uboc.org.uk/news.php?d=5> Start/registration 10am-1pm on the junction of Baldwin Street and Queen Charlotte St, BS1 1PN. Entry £2-4. Senior course 3.5-4km running distance. Juniors 1.5-2km. On 29th September the roads are closed in the city centre as part of mayor George Ferguson's Make Sundays Special initiative. We though this was a great opportunity to stage a UBOC event and bring orienteering right down into the heart of the city. This one's flat unlike the BOK Blast! There a lots of other things going on as part of Make Sundays Special (see the link above) and caterers will be situated nearby - come earlier to avoid too many pedestrians during your run. Duncan
