MapRun Courses
Orienteering anytime using a smartphone
MapRun is a free app that allows you to run a course without any physical infrastructure on the ground - instead your position is recorded by the phones’ GPS. You can run solo or as a group anytime and your time can be compared with others.
Permanent and Find Your Way Orienteering Courses (POCs/VOCs)
Orienteering anytime
Courses either have permanent markers with an orienteering logo at control points, or controls are picked up by mobile phone app MapRun6. All the controls are shown on an overprinted orienteering map that you can download from the Saxons or British Orienteering websites or in most cases obtain on site.
