To ensure map availability please REGISTER, ideally by Sunday evening before the event! Note the event is on a Wednesday rather than the usual Tuesday as there are no Tuesday food options in Wolvercote.

Event cost £3, cash only.

A MapRun 1 hour score event starting from Wolvercote. The usual rules apply: Controls 10-19 score 10, controls 20-29 score 20, and controls 30-39 score 30. 20 point penalty for each minute or part minute you are over the hour. You may complete as many or as few controls as you want. Controls may be attempted in any order.

The event will be hosted from the White Hart.  The organiser, Paul, will be in the marquee or beer garden to the rear of the pub, which can be accessed by walking down the left hand side of the pub. The pub has asked for an indication of potential numbers for food, and if possible what people would like. Please indicate on the spreadsheet is you might be having food.

Start between 6:30 and 7:30 pm. Food until 9:00 pm.

Terrain: The area encompasses Wolvercote, the north end of Port Meadow, Sunnymead, and Cutteslowe.  The majority of running will be tarmacked roads or paths, with some grassy paths on Port Meadow and within Cutteslowe Park.

Map: 1:10,000 paper street-o map.

Due to it being an urban event, participants must be aged 16 or over.

The event will use the MapRun app. This is available on phone, as well as Apple and Garmin watches. It’s advised to have this downloaded in advance of the event.

What to expect on the course: As this event uses the MapRun app, there is no physical orienteering infrastructure out on the course. Controls are set virtually, and your phone/watch will register when you have got within a certain number of metres of the specified control site. It is important to not run through the finish control until you want to finish your race, as doing so will finish your race. The finish will be located in a place which makes this very unlikely.
