Thursday 14/11/2024 - Innsworth 2024
This race will be based at Imjin Barracks Sports club, Innsworth, by kind permission of the Imjin Barracks Authorities. We will not be running in the barracks, but we do have use of the Sports Clubhouse as our base for the evening, with toilets and even showers available. Look for the O flags to direct to the entrance from the car park. The course will cover the overall Innsworth area, including some of the extensive new housing developments in the area.
NOTE to all MAPRUNNERS. You must be using MapRun v7 to run this course. It is just called MapRun. If you have MapRun6 or MapRunF please remove them and install just plain Maprun.
Entries are open now and will close at midnight on Wednesday 13th November.

Timing and Fees
Starts from 18:00 to 18:30. If you think you'll struggle to make that start window, email the organiser to let him know, and we can extend starts a bit.
To guarantee a map, you will need to pre-enter via Fabian4: entries are now open, and will stay open until midnight on Wednesday 13th November. A few extra maps will be available for entry on the day, but don't rely on this, and ideally bring cash, although we do now have an available card reader.
Entry fees: £5 seniors, £2 juniors. Competitors aged under-16 must be accompanied. The fee covers third party liability insurance, a map printed on waterproof paper, and post-run cake!
The course
It’s a one hour score event using the MapRun app:
The Start and Finish are located in the same place at the car park entrance
-
Checkpoints 1-10 are worth 10 points.
-
Checkpoints 11-20 are worth 20 points.
-
Checkpoints 21-30 are worth 30 points.
Score as many points as you can within an hour. If you’re late getting back, there’s a 10 point penalty per minute over.
You'll be issued with a waterproof map, A4, scale 1:10,000, before you start.
Please make sure you’ve installed MapRun before the event. If installing MapRun for the first time, select the MapRun app from your app store, and not MapRunF or MapRun6. MapRun, which is in practise Maprun v7, is now the standard app. If you haven’t used MapRun before, don’t worry – it’s easy to use, and we have full details on getting started.
You should download the course to your phone ideally before coming to the event, as sometimes there is little or no phone signal once there.
Links to enable download will appear here when the course is published, which due to holidays and things will be only a few days before race day.
