Middle Distance Championships, 5 April, Pine Range, Cooma
Pine Range is a new map of technical granite terrain only a couple of kilometres from Cooma town centre.
Moderate to steep hill, with native forest and detailed (big) granite typical of the area. It is close to town, so it is well used with a detailed track network, intricate gullies and good run-ability in the flatter parts. The cypress pines are beautiful set amongst the granite boulders.
