Summer 2022 MapRun League

A series of fortnightly events throughout the summer in or near Cambridge.

Our MapRun™ summer series is ideal for runners of all abilities who fancy trying something new. It’s a lot of fun, we’re friendly and no orienteering experience is needed! The Summer 2022 MapRun League runs from 11th May to 14 September. Run on the Wednesday evening with others (sign up from 6.30 p.m. to start by 7 p.m.) or within the following fortnight at a time that suits you.

On Wednesdays, there’ll also be an informal meet up at the host or nearby pub afterwards.

• 11th May, Fen Ditton
• 25th May, Milton
• 8th June, Bar Hill
• 22nd June, Cherry Hinton
• 6th July, Papworth
• 20th July, St Ives
• 17th August, Hardwick
• 31st August, Histon
• 14th September, Sprint and Prize Giving in Cambridge

For your run to count in the league, you may run the course either with others, on the Wednesday evening event itself, or at any time in the fortnight afterwards (up to midnight on the second Tuesday after the event).

How each event works

Find the checkpoints using the map provided, with your smartphone telling you when you’ve reached each one.

A long and short course option available at each event (4-5km or 8-10km of running). Linear courses at some events (find the checkpoints in order as quickly as you can) and score courses at others (find as many as you can within either 30 or 45 minutes).

New to MapRun™ orienteering?

We'd love you to join in! All running abilities are welcome and you don’t need to have done orienteering before. You can just turn up on the Wednesday evening (free friendly tips!) or give it a go on your own.

Not sure what to bring for a Wednesday run? You can wear your usual trainers and running kit. Bring a debit/credit card for your entry fee. Finally, bring a well-charged smartphone - if you can, download the free app 'MapRun6' in advance, but if you arrive a bit early we can help with that. We'll have somewhere you can leave a bag while you run.
