Mass-Start Legs
Here is an exercise we did at the team training camp last year.
You set out controls in advance for a regular orienteering course of length 5-10k. You run the course with a group, mass starting at each control. the idea is to be the first to the control every time. the scoring at each control was 4-2-1-0 for for 4 runners. (5-3-2-1-0 for 5, 3-1-0 for 3, you get the idea)
the restart should be pretty much as soon as the last person gets to the control or 3 minutes after the first person, whichever is sooner. anyone who falls behind the 3 minute barrier gets 0 pts per control until they catch up.
as an additional handicap, you can make the winner take the control down and carry it along for the rest of the run.
