ASOM CITY RUN
De ASOM City Run is geschikt voor beginnende oriëntatielopers!

Het afhalen van de borstnummers, start en aankomst zijn gelegen in de Basisschool Het Laerhof.

Deelnemen aan de ASOM City Run kost € 10.
Dit is inclusief:
- oriëntatieloopkaart met omloop
- tijdsregistratiechip SPORTident
- verzekering tijdens de wedstrijd
De start is individueel (of in kleine groepjes van max 3 personen) waarbij er elke minuut een deelnemer aan zijn omloop begint.
Je kan gewoon naar start gaan wanneer je wil starten en zal dan een starttijd krijgen of direct kunnen starten.
Bij orienteering moet je zo snel mogelijk checkpoints vinden, in de juiste volgorde, die staan aangeduid op een kaart. Elke deelnemer krijgt een chip mee die elke checkpoint registreert en de tijd bij houdt.
De kaarten zijn getekend volgens symbolen vastgelegd door de internationale federatie en zijn dus over heel de wereld hetzelfde. Wil je weten hoe zo’n kaart eruit ziet? Kijk HIER eens naar de kaart van het centrum van Antwerpen.
