MapRun events: These are 45 minute score events using ‘MapRun’, a free app for smartphone and/or Garmin watch that allows one to ‘punch’ controls using GPS – the same technology that is used by NYMBO, Spunch and many other events. Maps used are either OS 1:25000 or street maps. Help is available from the MapRun website and at all Claro MapRun based events.
MapRun+ events: These are score events with 60-minute, 90-minute and 120-minute classes, otherwise exactly the same as MapRun events above.
Other events (Regional, National, Night, Urban) usually offer a range of ‘cross-country’ courses (ie courses with controls visited in a set order where the result is based on the time you take) suitable for everybody from young beginners to experienced adults. For specific details of what courses are available, see individual event pages. Unless other stated, events are ‘long’ distance (winning times 50-60 mins+), with others being ‘Middle’ (35-40 mins) and ‘Sprint’ (ie short, usually two separate runs c.15 mins each).
