Courses, Terrain and Map

• Three Blood Races with a mass start. Runners will encounter a number of butterfly loops. The Full Blood, Half Blood and Very Nearly an Armful will be roughly equivalent to Black, Brown and Blue courses respectively. These courses will use both Hankley and the rarely-visited Elstead Heath.
• Five colour-coded courses. These courses will be on Hankley Common only using predominately the northern section.

The common and heath are both made up of open heathland with heather for tough running mixed with fast clear woodland. There will be a taped route between the two areas.

Half Blood	10-11km	M18, M45, M50, W20, W21 , W35
Very Nearly an Armful	7km	M16, M55, M60, W18, W40, W45, W50

Orange	2.5km	M12, W12
Yellow	2km	M10, W10

The map for Hankley Common was brand new in 2011 when surveyed and drawn by Dave Rollins. Appropriate updates will have been made for this race. Elstead Heath was mapped by Roger Maher in early 2013. The map will be at 1:10,000, overprinted and waterproof.
