This course is situated in Combs Ford and the area of Stowmarket to the S of the town centre, & the town has a number of car parks. The marked 'Start/Finish' is at the bridge in the centre of Pikes Meadow, but you may start at any of the checkpoints, whichever is most convenient, & plan your route from there. This is a timed course - you'll receive points for each control you visit, & have them deducted if you're over the time allowed!
Although it is a quiet residential area the course involves crossing Ipswich Road, Needham Road & Combs Lane: caution is required & under 16s really must be accompanied by an adult.
Please note: the earlier Combs Ford MapRun course has been replaced by an updated version, now called "Stowmarket South" in the MapRun app to avoid confusion.
