This year's courses were designed during dry weather, but rain will fall before the start, so the Red runners will be surfing around the edges of the swamp to find firm ground between controls. Green and Brown courses will enjoy a fast run across open fields. Orange and Yellow runners will be picking their way across the brier patch in search of open running.
All participants will have a story to tell after completing the Joe Kurz orienteering course for 2015.
