Barnwood 2022

This event in the Gloucester suburbs will cover Abbeydale, Abbeymead and Barnwood. We'll start from the Abbeydale Community Centre.

Directions and Parking

Parking and assembly will be at the Abbeydale Community Centre car park.

The Area

Typical fairly modern suburbia, quite a few open spaces, and footpaths linking estates and dead end residential roads. There are one or two main through routes which require particular care when crossing.

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 Wednesday 11th May.

Enter Online

A few extra maps will be available for entry on the day, but don't rely on this! Bring cash, as we may not be able to accept card payments, or be prepared to do a bank transfer.

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:

  • 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. You can download the course either by finding it in the MapRun6 app in the UK/Gloucestershire/Current Series folder, by scanning this QR code with your MapRun6 phone:

or by tapping https://p.fne.com.au/openevent/?id=21474&auth=419973 on your MapRun6 phone.

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 located in an urban environment necessitating many road crossings, so under 16s must be accompanied.

Although all legal Covid restrictions have ceased, you should NOT attend if you are Covid positive, or suspect you are.
