For the last maprun of our summer series, we return to Cheltenham: the East side of Cheltenham this time, to explore new areas in Oakley and Prestbury.

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.

Directions and Parking

We’ll be meeting at Sainsbury’s car park in Oakley.

Timings and Cost

Registration will be open from 18:30 through to 19:00. The evenings are drawing in, with sunset around 19:15, so if you want to get round in the semi-light you might want to set off on the early side!

£5 seniors, £2 juniors

Please note that juniors(under 16) must be accompanied by an adult on this course.

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.
