Type of event: Race
The 2024 SN Trophy will this year be held in conjunction with the SE Long champs on a new map on Black and White Hills, part of the area formerly known as "Bagshot Heath". The heath will not be used and the map has been renamed to reflect this and use the local names of the two primary hills.
The event will use a brand new updated map, supported, for the first time with the latest lidar information. The area is heavily scarred by a multitude of paths and tracks comprising the vehicle testing area and the influx of mountain bikers. Courses will reward the orienteer that can keep their head when all around lose theirs! The area is not "huge" and as such the longest course will be a Brown planned to to a height adjusted distance of approximately 12.5km.
On the area with start and finish adjacent to car park
Ten courses are offered from Yellow to Brown. The advised course to class combinations are shown below and should be used if you are a SEOA member competing in the 2024 SE Long distance championships.
An expected winning time for Black on this area is set for 67 mins based on M21 running 5 mins/km for height adjusted course distances, as such the expectation is for Brown to be around 10.5km/200m

This years SN Trophy event is open to everyone, with the added bonus that SEOA members can simultaneously compete for medals in the the South East Long Distance Championships.
Entry will open via RaceSignUp with start times expected to be between 10am and 12:30. Competitors are advised to select a start block that they feel will provide sufficient time to complete the course before the course clos time of 2:30pm
Black and Wite Hills are bisected by the M3 with a bridge and tunnel providing the connecting passage. In between the two hills is the vehicle testing area providing a complex brain overload to the unsuspecting orienteer.
Only on lead within the car park please
