MapRun app

You will need the MapRun app on your smart phone or Garmin or Apple watch.  Please download it from an app store beforehand.  It is made by FNE Enterprises.  Once the app is running it will buzz or make a sound depending on the settings (we can advise) when you visit each control location.  You should be able to leave your phone in your pocket and navigate using the paper map provided.

A4 map  Scale 1:10,000.  

(Note the map is not using IOF standards) 

Score course: Visit as many of the 50 controls as you can in the time.  Each control is worth 20 points.  There is a 10 point penalty for each minute or part minute you are late back.

U18s must be accompanied by an adult – there are many road crossings.

Linear course: Visit all the controls in the correct order as fast as you can.

U18s may go alone at parents’ discretion.

A first aid kit will be available at registration.

If you are unable to make the Tuesday date or want to have another go to improve your route choices, then each course will be available from its respective Tuesday until the end of September 2026.  Simply enter the anytime version of the event on SI Entries and you will be sent a link to the .pdf of the map to print and a code to unlock the event on MapRun.
