Model Event, Warmup Race e Middle Distances

Srº Dos Caminhos
Terrain: The area is predominantly covered by pine forest with undergrowth. The terrain features varied contour shapes and is rich in rock detail.

🌲 Terrain Characteristics – Special Attention to the Western Area

The western part of the map (newly surveyed) has significantly denser vegetation than the eastern part, including numerous fallen and broken trees that hinder running speed.

As a result, progression in the western area will be noticeably slower than in the eastern part.

It is important to note that fallen trees and dense vegetation are present, to some extent, across the entire map, particularly throughout the western area of the arena.

Following the recent storms, this situation has become slightly more evident.


🌿 ISOM and Running Speed

According to ISOM, green areas represent different levels of reduced runnability:

  • 🟢 Light green – approx. 60–80% of normal running speed;
  • 🟢 Medium green – approx. 40–60%;
  • 🟢 Dark green – approx. 20–30% of typical open forest speed.

The use of shoes with spikes is highly recommended, and the use of knee-high socks is mandatory.
