We have a series of informal orienteering events using the MapRun mobile phone App to be done in your own time.

Download the App to your phone, get the access code if one is required and print a paper map if you want one. Then go to the venue in your own time and complete the course.

The MapRun App will track your progress and the route you took. Results appear on their server.

You can read how to set up and use your mobile phone for MapRun here.

Covid-19 continues to impact our sport. Please ensure you follow:

• the Code of Conduct for Participants published by British Orienteering here
• Government guidelines for the local area here

These are unsupervised events so you compete at your own risk. Please let others know where you are going.

In addition to the normal MapRun courses intended for experienced orienteers we have a number of MapRun courses in local parks which are intended mainly for newcomers and children. These are part of the Find Your Way project run by British Orienteering. Virtual orienteering is using your phone or your GPS smartwatch to complete a course of virtual checkpoints spread throughout an area such as a town, park or forest . The courses have no infrastructure on the ground and are open 24/7 so you can fit in a course any time you want! The beauty of the courses is deciding your own route between the checkpoints.

Maps of these courses are given on the Deeside section of the 'Find Your Way’ web site here. This website also gives instructions on how to use your phone.

To do these courses you will need to download the MapRun app on to your phone which is free on Android/iOS. You will then need to fill in some simple details to register. You will then download the desired map on to your phone by following the procedure: Select Event//UK/FYW Cheshire/…...

Follow brown signs towards Oulton Park. If approaching from North, Little Budworth Car Park is just before you reach Oulton Park.

These maps are valid from 20:00 on Wednesday 5 August. If you still have maps that you printed before that time, please discard them and print these new ones. We have made this change in order to use a different start location, which we hope will mitigate the problems some people have had getting MapRun to recognise the existing start.
