Muiravonside (JIA Relay)Sat 25 Oct

The entrance to Muiravonside Country park can be found here: Google: W3W:  We are grateful to Falkirk Council for permission to use this area. 

Car parking will be within the country park, which is currently charged at £4 per day. As some of the parking areas are on fields and grass, the number of spaces will be weather dependent; so we would encourage everyone to car share as much as possible. Walking distance to the arena will be between 300m and 800m, with minimal climb, along good paths.

The JIA Relays will consist of 3 legs – a gaffled Orange course; a non-gaffled Yellow course; and a gaffled light Green course. There will be two classes – Open and Girls. Entry to the JIA Relays and team compositions will be made via Area Managers. There will also be a local event with individual courses open to all. Courses available will be Yellow, Orange, Light Green, Green & Blue.

Prices 

The cost for accommodation & meals is a maximum charge; this may be revised down depending upon occupancy rates. A 50% discount to the cost of overnight accommodation will apply for very young siblings who are not competing. We will confirm accommodation allocations through Area Managers shortly after entries close on the 15th October; and will communicate with each Area as entries come in so that we can fulfil most requests. If accommodation is oversubscribed we will work with Area Managers to try and find suitable alternatives. Please note that event entrance and accommodation fees are non-refundable - payment will be due even if you are unable to attend. However, if you can inform us at the earliest possible opportunity of non-attendance we may be able to offer your place to someone else.

Toilets are available in the park.  First aid will be provided by suitably qualified and licenced first aiders.

There are a number of steep slopes in the park, as well as some crags.  Take care!

There is no facility for shadowing in the JIA Relay, but the Yellow leg may be run in pairs if required.  Anyone who needs to be shadowed should enter the Local event instead, which will utilise the same courses.
