Stage 5 is a mixture of complex Campus and a Multi-level section in the Car Park adjoining the Event Centre
Due to the proximity of a number of controls in the Car Park we have made a decision to switch SI Air off for the Controls in the Car Park. This is to ensure that Air is not triggered as you potentially run past a number of controls that aren’t yours. All controls in the Car Park will need to be punched
The course will start in the Campus and transition to a Car Park as part of the map flip. Both sections of the map will have artificial barriers as highlighted below – these are marked on the map
Campus Barriers
On the Campus there will be artificial barriers as per the following example image. These will be marked on the map as per the image
Car Park – Barriers
The Car Park is 4 levels with some of the levels having pillars which are marked on the map as square blocks. There will be artificial barriers marked as per the image below which are un-crossable
Car Park Mapping
There are a number of different options to navigate between floors in the Car Park, a number of Stairwells, Internal and External Ramps
- Each connecting area on the Map is represented by a connecting letter. An exit on one level will connect to the same letter on another level
- If you exit Ramp G on one level that only connects to Ramp G on another level
- The outer walls of the Car Park are out of bounds
- Due to the Summer Light it may appear darker than normal, especially as you enter from the outside
- Stairwells are not wide so be careful of other competitors
- A runner can level Leave 3 at B, enter level 2 at C and level 1 at D
