The map shows the start / finish location, the route line, contour lines, and magnetic north lines. No checkpoints.
Put on your wristband.
Stand at the start / finish point.
Keep the wristband on for the entire run.
Follow the line. Match every turn, loop, and reversal.
Do not shortcut. Finish at the same start / finish point.
Your wristband records contacts automatically. No punching.
Where terrain is flat or unclear, use your compass.
A clean run has a recorded start, all required stations in sequence, no ghost station contacts between them, and a recorded finish.
Follow the line. Route accuracy matters more than speed.
