Safety & risk
A comprehensive risk assessment will have been carried out by the organiser, but participants take part at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety during the event. If a competitor has a pre-existing medical condition that they think should be declared, please complete a medical form at enquiries. The sealed envelope will only be opened in an emergency.
Photography
SYO has an agreed policy on the taking of photographs at events, based on national guidance. This provides a sensible balance between the benefits and risks associated with the taking and use of images. If you are unsure about acceptable practice, please speak to the event organiser. Read our photography policy.

Venue
The terrain is typical 'Pennine Fringe' coniferous woodland as used for the British Relay Championships in 2003. The area slopes considerably from the ridge down to the east of the map. The woodland is generally fast, with bramble slowing the pace in some areas. Small pockets of mining detail and an abundance of thickets should help to keep competitors on their toes.
The area is popular with mountain bikers, walkers and horse riders, please be aware of this when competing.
