Night Orienteering colour coded courses are a similar standard to normal colour coded equivalents, but are shorter.
Courses are as follows:

| Marmalade | (Dark Orange) | moderate | 2.6 km |
| Olive | (Dark Green) | hard | 3.1 km |
| Navy | (Dark Blue) | hard | 4.5 km |
| Chocolate | (Dark Brown) | hard | 6.1 km |
Please note that competitors on the longer courses (Olive, Navy and Chocolate) will have to climb over a fence (potentially twice), and that some of the controls will involve climbing up and down steep banks. |
| Travel Directions |
Access to the event will be on a forest road leading N off the A1101 Mildenhall to Bury St Edmunds Road. The entrance is about 1.2 km East of the Barton Mills roundabout. |
| Parking |
Please park as directed along the forest rides. |
| Terrain & Map |
