[0] Sprint [Length] less than 2.5 km [Difficulty] Beginner-Intermediate [Description] 
A sprint event is a short course, usually less than 2.5 km, with beginner to intermediate level navigation. Sprints are often held in a compact area, with many control points close together and rapid changes of direction. They are best suited for a compact or urbanized area such as a city park. The key to sprint events is quick decision making and good micro route choice, although participants are also welcome to take the course at a slower pace and enjoy the park. MNOC's sprint events are part of the national Sprint Series, and participants can choose to earn Sprint Series points.
