This ISSOM standard sprint map (1:5,000 CI = 2.5 metres) is of a non-urban (natural) area. Key topographic features are depressions of varying sizes, up to 15 metres deep, separated in places by relatively featureless areas. Although some of the depressions have willow bushes in the bottom, we consider this area to be extremely fast — a very open pine forest with natural meadow clearings. Views of the mountains to the south of the area may be a distraction on some of the courses.A map sample can be seen here.
