Excellent, thank you. I noticed some controls up on Shotover hill a while ago but doesn't look like there are any events there any time soon. Still, I'll keep my eye out.
Out of interest how long are the races usually? From what I read, 7.5km might be considered long... How is that measured? As the crow flies? Also how long would a decent runner expect to take - presumably a lot of time can be wasted fannying about trying to find the damned flag. Personally, my interest increases with distance (up to a point) so would love to find events that were a jolly 20-40km. I guess they aren't that common unless I start looking at "OMM" type events?
