NB Course Marking
V- boards ground level red, blue and green boards,

Never go through V- boards, under a rope – if the rope is on the ground still do not cross it. V- Board and standards mark water drainage courses so when you see v-boards or standards on the track be wary of hidden obstacles this is a mountain running/ biking race not a race on smooth surfaces.
