2019 Summer Maprun series starts this week

This Thursday, 4 April, Coleford plays host to the first in our summer Maprun series: nine events on urban streets and rural footpaths.

These events use the Maprun smartphone app to record visits to control points.  If you haven’t tried it before, the light summer evenings are a perfect opportunity to give it a go.  Find out here how to get set up with the app.

Locations are spread all across Gloucestershire, from the Forest of Dean to the Cotswolds.  The relative amounts of urban and rural terrain will vary between events – see each individual event for details.

  • 4 April: Coleford (GL16 8HQ)
  • 25 April: Churchdown (GL3 2HS)
  • 16 May: Stonehouse
  • 6 June: Berry Hill
  • 27 June: The Dowards
  • 18 July: Wotton-under-Edge
  • 8 Aug: Cirencester
  • 22 Aug: Bream and Whitecroft

All events will have a briefing and mass start at 1900.  Ideally it’s best to arrive by 1840 to give time to register.

Cost: £5 seniors, £2 juniors (juniors must be accompanied).
