ASOM CITY RUN
De ASOM City Run is geschikt voor beginnende oriëntatielopers!
Vind op de 6km lange omloop de kortste route tussen de checkpoints en loop langs de mooie parken, scholen en kastelen van Merksem!
Het afhalen van de borstnummers, start en aankomst zijn gelegen in de Basisschool Het Laerhof.
Het Laerhof
Laarsebaan 100
2170 Antwerpen
Parkeren kan op de parking van sportcentrum de Rode Loop aan de Rodeloopstraat.
8h30 Opening onthaal in Het Laerhof
10h00 Eerste start
11h30 Laatste start
13h00 Prijsuitreiking
14h00 Sluiting omloop
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.
