World ranking event

Maps

Long Distance (WRE). Becerril del Carpio.

New map made by Portuguese mappers and revised by ORCA club at the end of 2014.

This forest has adult pine and reforestation pine with terraces and other areas of oak with different penetrability. There are open fields, as well as crops sometimes bordered with impenetrable vegetation.

There are also rocky areas with cliffs of different heights, and a variety of land forms.

Climb is moderate/hard in some parts and there are some paths or tracks and power lines that may be used as a reference.

There are croplands planted that we have decided to ban crossing them and others croplands that may be crossed (mainly because they haven’t been planted yet), so we ask, firstly, maximum respect for the work of others and secondly, fair play between runners. There will be some areas enabled to cross marked on the map.

Also, although it only affects a few courses (the highest classes), there is an electric fence. Despite it is no big obstacle, you can trip if you do not see it (this element is not depicted on the map).

Besides truly insuperable cliffs, where you must be extremely careful, there are areas where we will ask caution as there are pine processionary ‘bags’ at low height that you may collide with when passing. They can be urticating.

First start at 9:30 in the morning.

Scale: 1/15000 (H-Elite, D-Elite, H18A, H20A, H21A, H35A, H40, D18A, D20A, D21A, D35A) and 1/10000.

Contours: 5m.

Competition centre

The competition centre and parking area will be at Becerril del Carpio’s service station «Puerta de la Montaña» where you will find an information point, a nursery service, toilets, bar and restaurant.

Access from the competition centre to the start is about 10 minutes walk and the to the goal about three minutes. Both are on the other side of an old national road, so we ask caution when crossing the road. In order to avoid any danger the organization will set a controlled area to cross the road so, please, use it.

The way from the competition centre to the start area is marked with several pieces of tape and it goes through a path parallel to the road. There is no need to walk on the roadside.

Middle Distance. Peña Colorada.

With moderate/hard climb, it is a map with oaks and pines of different penetrability. Runnability is sometimes limited (pinewood area) by reforestation terraces over 1.5 meters high (this terraces are marked with a brown dotted-line). There are very fast and open areas, tough.

The richness of rock details and valleys in the map, added to the thick vegetation, can seriously challenge the runner.

The competition area is fenced and has a livestock farming use, in fact, several categories will have to cross a fence over 1,20m in their routes. To facilitate the pass to anyone who wants to use them, we have enabled passing points in the fences enlarging the gap with tape. If you choose not to use this points, respect the fence and avoid shouting at the livestock. Anyway the cows usually are not in the competition area.

The black ‘X’ on the map correspond to light post that have been cut (1m. height approx.).

First start at 9:30 in the morning.

Scale: 1/10000.

Contours: 5m.

Competition centre

The parking area will be in Villela. The start and the goal are a bit away from the parking area. The start is approximately 5 minutes walk to a pre-start (-13min) and the goal is approximately 1 km from the parking area.

The prize-giving ceremony will be at Alar del Rey (about 13:45), which is the event centre, not only for being the largest city of the three where we will be, but because it has many services for participants.

As in Saturday’s race, there will be a nursery service for children while their parents compete. Please use responsibly.
