Venue: The Poachers Inn, 95 Ingersley Road, Bollington, Macclesfield, SK10 5RE

For those wanting pub food, please order at the bar before you run.

Rural score event using public rights of way on an enlarged OS map extract. 

Different geographic area to that used in July.

60 or 90 minute score event (choose on the night). Starting and Finishing near the pub.

Pre-entry recommended using http://mdocentry.org.uk to guarantee a map. Very limited entry on the day. 

This event will be the usual 60 or 90 minute Countryside Score format, but with a 6:45pm Mass Start and using the MapRun6 Iphone / Android / Garmin App for timing, punching and results.

As such you won’t need to bring a dibber or a pencil to record your visit to the controls.

MapRun6 App Essentials

To participate in this event you will need to bring your smartphone or Garmin with the MapRun6 App installed.  The App is free and if you haven’t already got it, then it takes less than 5 minutes to download and input your name details.  Do this at home before you come to the event.

The App will be used to record your time, prove which controls you have visited, calculate your score, and display the results.

It is easy to use - your device will bleep at the start, each control and at the finish. On the evening of the event there will be assistance available if you are new to it!  There will be a mini demo available for a pre-start bleep test.  Arrive early if you think you might need help.

Also if your phone doesn’t bleep at any control and you are in the right place, don’t worry because we can check your GPS track and correct your result after the event before the results are finalised.
