Location: 

Great Tower, near Windermere

Courses: 

There will be two races, a Prologue and a Chase. The Prologue will have individual start times; the Chase reverses the starting order based on the Prologue results, with the Prologue winners starting first, everyone racing head-to-head, and the first across the Chase finish line taking the title.

The expected winning times are 15-20 minutes for the Prologue and 20-25 minutes for the Chase. Courses will be "forest sprint" style - expect fast running, short legs, lots of controls and intense decision-making.

Other Notes: 

Previous JOK Chasing Sprint winners include six WOC medalists. Will you add your name to the roll of honour?

The event is paired with the LOC galoppen on the Sunday to make a fantastic weekend of spring orienteering in the Lakes.
