Also in line with the latest guidelines the follow rules will apply to the Compass Sport Cup competition:

o              There is no limit to the number of runners a club may field

o              Any competitor may run up a class or classes, but not a course. Women may run as men

o              Shadowing of juniors is not permitted; even on the basis that the junior will be disqualified if the shadower has to help. This is deemed to be against the spirit of the competition and not allowed.

o              Start times will be allocated to ensure a gap of at least 9 minutes between club members on each course

o              Club only members may take part in the competition even if they are not BOF members.

If approaching from the south be aware that station entrance is a sharp left turn immediately after crossing the railway bridge. The assembly area is in the car park and Start and Finish within 200m. Trains (‘Guildford via Cobham’ from Waterloo) run to this station hourly on Sundays, so this is an ideal opportunity to travel to an event by public transport.
