Summer Maprun 1 Coleford |
 GL16 8HQ |
For the first event in our summer Maprun series, we head to Coleford in the Forest of Dean.
These events use the Maprun smartphone app to record visits to controls: you can find details of how to get set up with Maprun here.
The terrain will be a mixture (about 50:50) of urban streets and rural footpaths. The footpaths are in good shape at the moment with little mud and no brambles.
Event details
- We’ll be meeting in the main car park in the centre of Coleford (at the bottom end by Co-op). Aim to arrive by 18:40 to register in time for the mass start at 19:00.
- Cost: £5 seniors, £2 juniors (note: juniors must be accompanied)
The Map
A simplified 1:10,000 map from OpenOrienteeringMap, showing:
- paths and roads (black)
- open spaces (orange)
- woods (green): keep to the footpaths in the woods
Format
The race takes the form of a 60 minute score course, in which you collect as many points as you can. There are 30 checkpoints:
- checkpoints 1-10, worth 10 points
- checkpoints 11-20, worth 20 points
- checkpoints 21-30, worth 30 points
You lose 10 points for every minute or part minute you are late back, after the permitted 60. The map on your phone will be PIN protected, and you will be given the PIN, together with a paper map, a minute or two before the start.
