In the terrain, the sports director distributes posts in advance, which the participants then run to individually or in small groups during the numbered run. For this purpose, the participants receive a control overview and a running map. All even or odd-numbered controls are run according to the 1st marked control. Depending on the time available, the 3-person rule could also be an option. The numbered run is carried out as a form of exercise, as the different running routes vary. In this variant, the participants can be sent on the course without staggering, as they do not start in the same direction. The control overview with the running map is handed out together with the start signal. For the numbered run, each participant/group has a defined amount of time to find as many or all of the controls as possible. Under certain circumstances, several runs can also be carried out (e.g. even and odd controls).
Variant I:
Prepare the control transfer point: The participants do not receive a map on which the controls are already marked, but must mark the controls themselves at a control transfer point (e.g. using coordinates, azimuth or measuring point method). The control sheets remain at the start even after the transfer. Before the participants set off on the course, the sports director checks the marked controls.
