Welcome to Southampton Orienteering Club's 2024 MapRun League. The League will run between June and August with your best four results out of six counting towards the league. A new event will be added every other Thursday and you have two weeks in which to compete. Events will stay open beyond that date but will not count towards the league. There will be a social organised for the Thursday at the start of each two-week period. Enter the league through Racesignup. There will be 50 points for the winner of each event, 49 for second-placed, etc. with everyone who participates getting at least one point.
MapRun is a form of orienteering where you use an app to record whether you have successfully navigated your way around a course and your times. There won't be any flags or physical controls out but you will receive positive confirmation from the app that you are in the right place. Please see the MapRun website for more info. The latest app is MapRun which is available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. The are also versions of the app that you can run on a Garmin or Apple watch.
The League is being coordinated by webmaster [at] socweb.org (Dave Currie). Any queries, let me know.
Combined results for the league can be found here.

League guidelines:
- Your first attempt counts for the League (but you are welcome to do it more than once and try to improve).
- Avoid looking at the maps and planning your route before you start. Part of the challenge is to plan your route under time pressure!
- No studying the tracks of other people before you run. That is cheating!
