Default NEW Sporting Code rules

Silver distance rules

The only thing the new FAI rules will create is the necessity for the tow plane to tow the glider some 25 kilometers to the release point incurring more expense and a higher risk of an off field landing.

If they really wanted to force one to leave the vicinity of the home airfield, they should indeed have phrased it "50 km from the airfield of departure" instead of "from the release point"...
