Pig History
History of the Flying
Pig orienteering event before 2006
The Farsta
One day of the Pig is traditionally a Farsta format
event. You can think of a Farsta as a one-person relay. This
is a mass start event and you will run 2 or 3 loops, passing through the
start area and exchanging maps after each loop. But, the course is
designed with a forking system. After you have completed all loops,
you will have done all of the same legs as every other competitor on your
course. But, you will have done them in a different sequence from
most other competitors. You will visit some of the same controls
on each loop. This means you frequently see other competitors but
generally can not know for sure if they are going the same place at the
same time as you. You get the excitement of head-to-head competition,
but still the challenge of individual navigation.
