Wythenshawe - Linear Park/Urban Challenges

These are linear courses with a defined start and finish. The map is a hybrid which for some courses includes both Park and Urban terrain. The Park is covered by a standard orienteering map and the urban area by a Night Street League style map. For those of you who have done one but not the other now is the time to do them both on the same run.

The Long Light Green course bursts out the Park into the urban area to the north and back again, as does the shorter Red course. The other courses, which remain within the Park consist of an imaginatively planned Light Green, and an Orange and Yellow.

The MapRun settings on the Orange and Yellow will be set in a novice-friendly way so that runners will be able to see their whereabouts on the smartphone screen - should they choose to do so. Both courses remain in the Park making them extra safe too. And it is a lovely, runnable grasslandy, leafy Park.

The start and finish locations are close to the main car park in the centre of the park.

In addition, for these courses, separate control descriptions are available. Many of the controls are obvious but the descriptions may be useful for some.
