A summer evening event in a lovely woodland Nature Reserve between Congleton & Holmes Chapel just 10 mins from M6 J18. Suitable for all ages and abilities. Run, jog or walk. Whether you are a superfit runner or a couch-2-5k'er you will enjoy an outing in this postage stamp sized Cheshire forest.
The area is flat, fast and generally very runnable, but be prepared to be navigationally challenged as there is plenty to keep you interested including the often confusing spiders-web of paths that can catch you off guard!
For experienced orienteers there is the opportunity to boost your BOF ranking points on the usual range of colour-coded line courses.
For those newer to map-sport, including those who have enjoyed our recent Spunch events, or for those less-bothered about rankings, then we recommend the 2-part Score, which gives you 2 x 30 minute runs for the price of one! For each of the 2-parts, you will be required to visit as many of the 24 checkpoints as you can in the 30 mins available. Following a brief rest after part 1, you will get a second map with another (different) 24 checkpoints marked. WARNING: You will find part 2 more challenging than part 1! In contrast to the recent Spunch events you may have been to, the checkpoints are closer together so you will visit more and more quickly, the map is more detailed, you can go off-piste and take a more direct route, there will be markers at the checkpoints, and you will use a different electronic punching system (Si-card punching rather than S-punching on MapRun). Also at this event, as there are no traffic hazards, under 16s can go solo - so the kids' chance to show mum/dad how it is done!
Parking, Toilets, Registration, Start & Finish all within 100m of each other. Car park adjacent to Lakeside setting which gets the evening sun - lovely for a summer evening picnic (weather permitting!). Lots of bird-life too!
Registration from 1700. Start anytime between 1730 and 1900.
