Chelmer Village - Autumn 20 PXAC
New to MapRun? -> Please see the introduction page here
Introduction to this course
Another MapRunF event has now gone live - and this is at Chelmer Village. This is the same course as we ran on Long course for the Summer/Autumn Series. Perhaps you missed this event - or want to try & improve your time? It is advisable to use the paper map - as it has additional paths included, which wont show on the mobile map.
The navigation should be fairly straightforward, but sometimes the GPS can take a while to keep up with you, so ensure you have ‘Display my location’ ticked in the settings – and you can check exactly where you are at all times.
Remember, this is a ‘fun’ event!

There may be dog walkers, cyclists and residents using the pavements and footpaths – be aware and give them priority.
Take particular care on the unlit rough slippery paths and parkland if you are running in the dark!
Some roads may not have pavements – so take extra care.
Participants take part at their own risk.
