Courses
| Course description: | Newly remapped for this event by Chris Hooker, Rivers Wood is a mixed area of woodland of varying runnability. There is a good path / track network and the area is undulating. It tends to get muddy and heavy going in places after periods of rain. The courses will be on the short side, this is not the quickest of woods to compete in. |
