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.
About MapRun...To do a MapRun simply load the app, select a course, print a paper map (you can use the map on the phone screen but this is not ideal) and go to the start. When the GPS detects that you have reached the start it bleeps and your time has started. Continue round the course (usually 60 min score course) passing though each control location where it bleeps and back to the finish. The GPS bleep is often instantaneous but you may have to pause for 5-10 secs (longer under trees or other cover). Once completed your results and route are automatically loaded to the leaderboard and can be compared with others.

Within the MapRun app these courses are located under UK/Kent and then a geographic sub-folder. The long course name (e.g.....PXAS ScoreV60) is as shown on the app, the extra terms define the scoring rules (e.g. 60 min score). We share the Kent folder with our neighbouring club DFOK who also have a range of MapRuns, see their site: DFOK Mapruns.
For full details see the Info sheet for each run.
It is perfect for private fitness and technique training.
