Local events are usually low key and in the 'localised' area, ideal for newcomers to try the sport and Training events are non competitive and used for training and coaching, aimed at members of the club, but they can attract people from neighbouring clubs, and are often ideal for newcomers to try the sport. Regional events attract participants from around the local Region, National events are high quality competitions that will attract people from far away, Major events are Major Events such as a British Championships. Virtual events are where there are no physical controls being used. Your presence at a control is registered using an App on your mobile phone, normally the free MapRun App.
Tilgate Golf Course, a regular New Year KNC venue, invariably makes for a nice competition and is deservedly a popular event. Many areas are quite 'narrow', so going from fairway to runnable woodland to rough open to walk vegetation it's oh so easy to lose the plot in the remaining minutes before the hour is up.
The weather can change the aspect of the event - over recent years it's been very windy or raining or this time, just a bit muddy in places.
