Permanent Courses using GPS, Maprun an Orienteering app for your phone

The “MapRun” orienteering app allows you to set up and take part in “Virtual” orienteering courses using the GPS your smartphone. You run a course using either the map on your phone screen or a paper version, and your phone will automatically beep when you reach the correct location of each control (nothing marking it on the ground). At the end of the course your results and split times can be saved into a results table alongside others who have run the course. Clyde have a number of courses available that you can run any time you want to. They are listed on the SOA website along with all the other courses in Scotland.

Covid-19: All face-to-face Orienteering activities suspended

As a reaction to the current Covid-19 pandemic, and in line with the SOA statement we have had to suspend all face to face orienteering activities. This includes the Thursday evening hill runs.

At the time of writing it is still possible to run on your own, so you could consider the 5 CLYDE MapRun courses listed on the SOA website.

The club may run some online workshops in the next few weeks on mapping using Open Orienteering Mapper and possibly on other orienteering analysis software.
