A legacy of the covid period, we have some orienteering courses that are available on an app called MapRun. There are no physical markers on the ground, but when you reach the right location the app pings or buzzes and records that you have been there. This creates a leaderboard within the app. We recommend you print the map for the course to make it easier to navigate, but you can also view the map within the app on your phone. You can try the courses as many times as you like.
It’s a great introduction to orienteering as you can walk, jog or run; or you can use it for training.
More detailed guidance of how to use the app is contained in this document.
The MapRun app is available from the Apple App Store and on Google Play. It’s free to download.
We have lots of different types of app-based courses available:
SmartRun courses
We have these available in two parks: Nonsuch Park in Cheam and Beddington Park in Wallington. There are three different levels: SmartRun which uses a set, path only route. SmartRun Challenge where you decide which path to take; and SmartRun Adventure which will take you off the paths and into hidden corners.
