| ||
| U13 course | 1 medium undulating lap which includes the ski slope and woodland trail.
| ||
| U15/U17 course | 1 large undulating lap which includes the ski slope and woodland trail but NOT the river crossing.
| ||

| ||
| Additional Notes | Liable to be very muddy in places, especially over the back of the course after crossing (or going around) the river. If crossing the river, please use caution and respect other competitors. | ||
