Cemetery Hill inclu des some of the grounds of the former Northampton State Hospital. In the 19 50’s, the hospital housed 2657 patients (including, at one point, Sylvia Pl ath). Today, Cemetery Hill is a dog park, where dogs are permitted to run o ff leash, and includes a popular disk golf course. Please be respectful of others who may be using the area.
Registration and start/finish are i n an open field about 800 meters from the parking area. Follow signs and or ange streamers. The only portable toilet is a couple hundred meters from th e parking area in the opposite direction from the start. Separate control d escriptions will be available just before you start each sprint; they are a lso on the map.
There are four sprint courses called “A”, “B”, “C”, a nd “D”. A and B cover similar routes with some common controls, as do C and D. Each relay runner does two courses, first doing one of A and B and then one of C and D. Each team does all four sprints, but in four possible orde rs: ABCD, ABDC, BACD, or BADC.
Sprints A and B are around 1.9k with 4 0 meters of climb; sprints C and D are around 1.7k with 50 meters of climb. Expected winning times are around 14 minutes for A and B, and around 12 mi nutes for C and D.
These are “woods sprints”, with a fair amount of t rail running and open field running. The white woods range from very open t o moderately junky. There are some steep hills.
Full leg cove ring is highly recommended due to some stray vines in light green and rough open areas.
Please check control codes! Some contro ls are only 40 meters apart.
The map is 1 x 4000 with 2.5 meter contours, ISOM.
Special Symbols:
Vegetation: Medium green (exce pt perhaps a narrow strip) and dark green are to be avoided; they almost al ways contain nasty vines. Light green is slow run, sometimes with obstacles to go around or over; it may contain some stray vines.
Fence s: You may come across a couple of barbed wire fe nces. They are flagged with orange streamer and, if above ground, marked as crossable fences on the map. There could also be some unmapped barbed wire on the ground. Please be careful.
Rock: Individual boulders are often mapped down to .5 meter. “Cliffs” on the map are manmade rockfaces.
