Orienteering Exercise: Multi-mass-start relay

Key information
Exercise Type: Overspeed orienteering, Pressure handling
Target Level: Elite level, Junior level, Intermediate level
Intensity: High
Preparation time: More than 30 minutes
OCAD Required: No
Min participants: 5

Relay with very short legs, in which there is a new mass-start for each leg. Each runner runs 4 legs, and there are 3-4 runners in each team. The first team coming in on each leg gets 4 points, the second 2 points, the third 1 point - the rest zero points. Points are added for the team. The next leg starts when the second last runner returns from the previous leg. Very intensive relay training with a lot of pressure on the runners. We usually get several DSQ'es as the runners do not tackle the pressure. This relay training is a lot of fun!

Aim: Pressure handling and tackling overspeed orienteering. Each runner gets 4 mass-starts, and in addition there is the importance of not letting the team down.
Variants: The number of teams/legs can be changed.
Aids: OCAD should be used to make this many courses.
Terrain: Any terrain will do.
Preparations: Make one set of courses for the first time each runner runs, another set for the second time each runner runs, and so on. Use one or two gaffled controls on each set of courses. Number the maps before the relay (1-1, 1-2, 1-3 etc.).
