Organiser's Comments - Ross White, STAG
The Double Deer Relay and Sprint was a challenging event to organise mainly due to the remote starts and changeover areas and being located in this city. I want to say a massive thanks to the fantastic team of volunteers on the day as without them, this event would not have been possible or gone as smoothly as it did. I was so happy STAG was able to host a great and memorable event using quality urban orienteering terrain within Glasgow. We had great feedback from those who took part which is a great boost for everyone who helped to make it happen. Thank-you.
