Details
We’ve planned a course and given you a choice of three routes per leg. For each leg, choose the route that you think is fastest. After you choose a route for a particular leg, you’ll then watch a video as we run your route for that leg! At the end of the course, you’ll be scored based on how quickly we ran the routes that you chose.
Why watch a video of the route? It’s more fun! Plus, maybe you’ll get some clues about the terrain that will influence the routes you choose later in the course…
You can skip the videos, speed them up, or just watch sections of them. The time you spend choosing a route and the time you spend watching the video does not affect your score.
Warm-up
You can have a go at the Video Orienteering stage we did a few weeks ago in Sweden here.
Scoring
At the end you’ll be ranked by:
- the time it takes us to run the routes that you chose (NOT the time you take to choose the routes, or the time you spend watching the videos)
