Timing and Fees
Starts from 1830 to 1900.
To guarantee a map, you will need to pre-enter via Fabian4: this is open until midnight on Wed 8 June. A few extra maps will be available for entry on the day, but don't rely on this!
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!
We may or may not be able to take card payments, so bring cash if planning to enter on the day.
The course
It’s a one hour score event using the MapRun app:
-
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 MapRun6 before the event. 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. The course will be published a week or two before the event, and once published you can download the course either by finding it in the MapRun6 app in the UK/Gloucestershire/Current Series folder, by scanning a QR code with your MapRun6 phone, or by tapping a course link with your MapRun6 phone. These options will be added here once the event has been published.
MapRunG (Garmin watch) users: if you have MapRun6, you do not need the event PIN number to download the course to your watch. This means you can download the course before your arrive at the event, in case there is no phone signal there.
Safety
- The course is largely located in an urban environment necessitating many road crossings, so under 16s must be accompanied.
- One or two sections of road have no pavement either side. Take particular care on these.
