MapRun - Navigate the Night in Llanelli
This is a night score orienteering event in Llanelli organised by the Swansea Bay Orienteering Club (SBOC) and affiliated to the WOA. The event is free to enter and listed as activity number 39926. The venue postcode is SA15 3BB and a pre-printed map at 1:7500 will be provided at the start.
Competitors have 60 minutes to visit as many of the 30 checkpoints as they choose. Checkpoints have varying point values between 10 and 30 points; the aim is to score as many points as possible and return to the start within the time limit. Late returns incur a penalty of 10 points per minute. The event is timed and checkpoint visits are recorded using the MapRun smartphone app, which acts as the timing chip.
Registration is handled via pre-entries where possible and maps on the night are issued on a first come first served basis. All under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. Participants take part at their own risk and non members are not covered by British Orienteering public liability insurance. The urban terrain includes parkland, housing estates and industrial areas; some paths may be muddy or slippery.
Participants are advised to bring a smartphone with the MapRun app installed, a pen, waterproof clothing and high visibility or reflective clothing. Accessibility arrangements such as annotated maps for wheelchair or mobility scooter users can be requested in advance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
