With wonderful views of mountains and sea yet only 5 minutes drive from the M6, Lancaster University is one of England’s top campuses and is almost like a small town in its own right.

The essence of the sprint will be complicated urban campus through paved walkways, winding steps, dead ends, uncrossable walls and urban shrubberies. Expect surprise and route choice around every tight corner!

And you can enjoy the Trail Orienteering version of sprint with a TempO event against the clock, open to all.
