The event will be a MapRun event, enabling use of the MapRun app on your phone or the MapRunG app on to your watch. 

If you are new to the system, please read the instructions on our website.

and download the MapRun apps to your phone or watch.  The event files will be available a few days before the event. You are strongly advised to download everything you need before you arrive at the event.

Start and Finish will be timed using SI as usual.

Registration

NEW THIS YEAR ... To enter the event, everyone should pre-enter using the RaceSignUp system https://racesignup.co.uk/. Just select the event, pick which of the 40/60 options you want to do, and if you are an MDOC member, use your discount code. This entry process takes your money, so no more queuing to pay on the night - should you need to withdraw, RaceSignUp allows that and gives you a credit for a future event.

Entries will remain open until the event is over, but you won't get a personalised clue sheet or a guarantee of a map if you leave it past midnight two days before (ie. Sun for Tuesday events, Tuesday for Thursday events).

If you are going to run as a pair, you both need to enter the event - all runners will receive a map and be charged for it (£6 seniors, £3 juniors).

We would prefer to avoid entries on the day, but will have a limited number of maps available and can take cash or card payments.
