Autumn Social - Nuneaton SE

An opportunity to meet up for an informal run - with a choice of 4 MapRun courses - followed by a location for breakfast or lunch and chance for a chat...

Parking: in the Paul's Land car park (free). This is located at the SE end of Mill Close (CV11 6QD) off the B4114 Lutterworth Road. Note that there is a 2m height barrier but there is limited space on the road outside of the barrier..

Courses: Short, Medium, Long and Sprint (a relatively short course with a higher density of controls in the more complex areas)

Short:                2.6km / 15m / 16 controls / Optimum distance 3.1km
Medium:           3.5km / 30m / 21 controls / Optimum distance 5.3km
Long:                 5.5km / 40m / 27 controls / Optimum distance 8.0km
Sprint:               3.3km / 20m / 21 controls / Optimum distance 3.8km

Medium and Long courses use Paul's Land and the (Crowhill) estates to the North. The map was drawn at 1:4000 but is here reduced to 1:5000 to fit on A4 for home printing. Some point symbols are enlarged for legibility however some of the narrow passages are a little difficult to spot (you may want to carry a magnifier - or study the map in advance if your print quality is not good).

Short and Sprint courses use Pauls Land and the Magyar Crescent and Purcell Avenue estates to the South. These courses are at 1:4000 for better legibility.

Courses are available from Wed 22/11/23 (at 08:00) and will remain available until 31st May 2024.

The suggested "run time" for Wednesday is 10:15 - 10:30. If you intend to come to the Cafe afterwards see the notes below.
