The Maryland 5 Star cross-country course for this week’s event has been designed by multi-medalled British former event rider Ian Stark. Although he is experienced at creating four-star tracks, this is Ian’s five-star design debut.

There are 28 numbered fences on the Maryland 5 Star cross-country course, with a distance of 6270m and an optimum time of 11 minutes.
