2021-2022 MapRun League

Last Updated: Thu 31 Mar 2022

The current MapRun League runs from October 2021 to 27 April 2022.
Events are held monthly, and offer a choice between a 6km or a 3km linear course.
Participants may run the course either at the social Wednesday evening event itself, or at any time in the fortnight afterwards (up to midnight on the second Tuesday after the event) for their run
to count in the league.

The current league standings can be found here.

League scores are combined for "on the night" performances, and "anytime" results. To score in the "on the night" league you must turn up and run on the Wednesday evening when the course is first revealed. To score in the "Anytime" league you can run any time in the 14 days from when the course is revealed (including on the first night).

Costs

Wednesday evenings: WAOC/CUOC members: £3 senior; £2 students
Non-members: £4 senior; £2 students

Any time: £2 - follow the "Take Part" link on the event results (see our Results pages).

Prizes

Fastest man and woman in each of the 3k and 6k distances, based on their 4 highest scoring runs.

Juniors

These events are not intended for juniors, but if they do run, U16's must be at
least Orange standard and shadowed.

Miscellaneous

  • Check the website before each session for more information or ask to join the training
    email list.
  • Distances are measured on a direct line between controls and so you can expect to run a third more than advertised.
  • Please note that control kites will not be placed.
  • You can run the course traditionally without a smart phone but you will not be eligible for the league.
  • Paper maps will be available for all entering on the Wednesday evening.

Scoring

Since these events are all linear courses, scores will be calculated based on the finishing time, assuming all controls are found. Score will be zero if controls not all visited in the correct order.

Scores from different events will be rescaled so all events give the winner 1000. Best 4 scores are added together to give a total score for the season.
