Kingstanding SMApp
Harlequins Orienteering Club stages SMApping in Kingstanding on Thursday 17 December 2026. The event is a timed score format in which participants use a printed 1:10,000 street map and the MapRun smartphone app to record visits to controls. Competitors try to visit as many checkpoints as possible within a 60 minute period; scoring is ten points per control and a penalty of ten points for each minute or part of a minute over 60 minutes.
Registration and the post event gathering are at The Deer’s Leap, Queslett Road East, Kingstanding B43 7EE. Public transport options include buses 5 and 33 from Sutton Coldfield station, a direct bus 33 from Birmingham, and local services 936, 937, 997 and 77. Parking is available at The Deer’s Leap.
The course runs on urban streets and estate roads with paths and generally good lighting. Some roads may be busy and crossing points are marked on the map. Participants must wear high visibility clothing and carry a torch or headtorch. A risk assessment has been completed but participants are responsible for their own safety. Juniors aged 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
Results and routes are available at the end of the run, with routes able to be uploaded to Strava. Entry fees are listed as £6 for club and BOF members, £8 for non members, and reduced junior rates. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
