No Elite entries will be accepted after 7th March 2004.

New Courses On Offer

In the new 'Event Guideline F: Jan Kjellstrom Individual' of the BOF Rules 2003 it is recommended that four new courses are offered, M/W21V (very short) and M/W21N (novice). These are to be introduced as an attempt to attract more competitors in this age group who are new to the sport.

These courses will be available at JK 2004. Unfortunately this decision was taken after publication of the Event Brochure and Entry form. If you wish to enter these courses please indicate this on the entry form. The fees will be the same as those published for the rest of the event.

Colour Coded Courses

Limited Colour Coded courses will be available on both individual days. Entry on the day only.

String Course

A string course for the very young will be available on both the individual days.

Start Times

Members of the same club will be allocated start times in the same time block. Competitors requiring similar start times to friends should preferably enter together, completing the "Start Block Club" box. Whilst every effort will be made to accommodate your requests, this cannot be guaranteed.

Split Starts

These must be requested when entering. Parents will be given alternate early and late starts. The second runner will have an "open" start. A permit to hand to officials will be sent out with the details.

Dogs

Dogs strictly on leads in the car parks and assembly only.

This may be subject to alteration.

Sportident (SI) electronic punching will be used throughout the competition. Please quote your SI number when entering. Alternatively you can hire an SI card for the duration of the event for a fee of £2. Please write HIRE in the space provided on the entry form for the SI number, and add the fee to the total where indicated.
