Because there are n o control flags, you'll need to navigate carefully and pay attention to the control descriptions, which give precise locations.\n For a successful, sa fe and fair event:\n \n - Keep out of private property. In particular, the area marked in purple on the west side of the map is explicitly out of bou nds, so plan your route accordingly. \n - The cycle and running tracks at S tromlo Forest Park are also marked in purple and out of bounds. Control 54 can be approached from the east or north via gates on Uriarra Road. \n - Ob viously residential land is also out of bounds – do not go across people’s gardens. \n - Do not try to wade across the Molonglo River. Access to contr ols 50, 74 and 100 is only via the bridges at 61 and south of 50. \n - Cros s roads with care. Use crossings, underpasses or traffic lights where possi ble, especially on Hindmarsh Drive, John Gorton Drive and Streeton Drive. \ n - In the Mount Stromlo area, watch out for mountain bikes, and avoid usin g mountain bike tracks. Take care wherever bike tracks cross the main track s. In particular, be very careful if using the track that goes NNE from 71 where it crosses the spur – bikes cross the track very fast and are hidden by a tunnel. \n - Cows grazing on Narrabundah Hill have made the ground sof t and muddy in May 2022, so take care approaching controls 60 and 80. The c ows are reportedly friendly though. \n - Apart from your phone or watch run ning the MapRun app, GPS instruments, altimeters and pedometers are not all owed. You may only use the map provided and your compass. \n - You must com plete the course on foot. Bikes and other means of transport are not allowe d. You’re responsible for your own safety. So plan as you would normally f or a run or bushwalk. Make sure you carry enough water for your needs.\n  \ n This event was imported from: https://new.act.rogaine.asn.au/event-detail s/eventdetail/101/-/go-west-virtualgaine.html?tmpl=component X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
