Middle Distance Race
Tuesday 5th June
Inchmarnoch Middle Distance Race, incorporating World Champs selection race, UK Cup.
Tuesday sees the final race in the JubileeFive, a middle distance race for all classes at Inchmarnoch.
This is a fantastic morraine area with some of the best contour detail in Deeside. The forest has been thinned over the years and now offers a mixture of fast high visibility forest and slower thicker areas providing a major challenge to hold together the technique needed to spike all controls cleanly. There is the added twist of parking north of the River Dee and crossing by the Cambus O’May footbridge to get to the assembly area on the south side (watch out for bridge jumpers if the weather is warm enough!).
Due to sheep in adjacent fields and ground nesting birds, dogs are permitted in car parks and assembly areas on leads only but not in any forests (including the training area at Inver) apart from MTBO at Scolty
