This course is situated in Newmarket, to the North of the town centre. The marked 'Start/Finish' is at a post box near to Tesco & parking is available at the supermarket or the adjacent shopping centre if using their facilities. You may, of course, start at any of the checkpoints, whichever is most convenient, & plan your route from there; the town centre carparks are listed on the West Suffolk website. This is a timed course - you'll receive points for each control you visit, & have them deducted if you're over the time allowed!
Unlike other towns on our MapRun list, Newmarket has a high population of thoroughbred horses & you'll be almost certain to meet some being taken out for exercise: please remain alert & be ready to give way. Your course also involves crossing busy roads: caution is required & under 16s really must be accompanied by an adult.
Please note: since the course was first planned construction/maintenance work has blocked some potential route choices. Please check that you have the pdf file which has V2 in its name before printing (refresh the page if necessary).
