Ever wondered how many sprint orienteering courses you can do in a day? Wonder no more!
Ultrasprint is a day of fast-paced mini-sprints around the local uni area, ranging from parks and schools to the uni itself. It involves 9-11 mini sprint events, including crowd favourites like mazes and the iconic indoor ‘flat O’ (because yes, you can still get lost in a student flat.) Ultrasprint is Ultralong’s more relaxed cousin, and it’s a great day of short and fast racing. Everyone is welcome, from beginners to seasoned pros!
Save the date and tell your friends, entries will be out soon!
