Terrain – Székesfehérvár, Kégl-Kastély
This is a moderately hilly area between 150-240 m asl with many erosion features (spurs and small re-entrants) and man-made pits. Most of the area is on a slope, where getting the elevation right will be essential. It consists mostly of open areas with irregular thickets and bushes with some green forest in the valleys between the open areas. There are some gullies and steep earth banks on the side of the valleys. Thickets in the open areas are mostly thorn and passing through dark green is virtually impossible. Some courses will also visit forested areas (oak) with limited runnability and visibility, but all types of vegetation are passable there. There is some ground vegetation in the forested areas, but only a little in the open areas. There are only a few granite boulders and cliffs in the terrain and open areas have a hard granite surface. Firm ground, no marshes. Runnability is excellent in most places but limited in the green / forested areas. Varying visibility, even in the open areas. Low track density.
Those on the longer courses may run close to private areas (symbol no. 520, olive green) which are bordered by hedges and not fences. Their edge is clearly visible in the terrain. These are out-of-bounds for the runners – entering them may lead to disqualification. Anyway, no advantage is gained by running through these areas.
There are plenty of rabbit burrows (holes) in the terrain, which are not marked. Watch out to prevent a sprained ankle!

Special Features, Middle Final Race:

Club tents
Club tents may be set up in the designated areas in the arena. Please note that there is virtually no shade available, so bringing a tent is the recommended option.
