Maprun – Virtual Orienteering


The MapRun App uses the GPS signal of either a phone, or a smatwatch used in combination with a phone.

The MapRun site can be found here.

NGOC (North Gloucester Orienteering Club) have been using MapRun for a some time now and have a useful guide here.

You can find virtual courses in our area from the MapRun App by going to:
– Select Event
– Scroll right down and select ‘UK’.
– Then select ‘County Durham’, then for our area ‘Durham’.

You will need a copy of the map, so contact the club for this.

When we use Maprun for Wednesday training, the courses are normally temporary and private, using the “checksites” function within MapRun.
If a club night is using MapRun, you will get the relevant details on the night.
