Great Owl Running GPX Grand Prix
#gpxgp

12 Races - 1 August - 6 December 2020

Please see Website for full info http://greatowl.org A brand new format of racing for 2020. After a great VIRTU-OWL Race Series Great Owl Running is going actual! In 2020 We have all been faced with uncertainty and I’m sure most of you reading this have had races cancelled this year (including our very own Holly Hustle Race). It’s fairly unlikely we will see anything close to normal for a wee while so this is our chance to try something a bit different, to adapt our racing into a 2020 format. All you’ll need is a pair of shoes and a Watch or smartphone with an app capable of reading GPX files (many are available, I recommend OS Maps). If that’s not your bag you can plan your route in advance and print a map or follow the route descriptions provided. Remember, you have a big window to log your run on these courses so you could always do a recce beforehand!
