Report

MapRun results are here

We know that due to GPS inaccuracies some people didn't register some controls so over the next day or so all traces will be checked and manual adjustments made.

RouteGadget

Is a web app for sharing and comparing orienteering routes. You can draw your own route or upload a GPS track from your watch. It also allows you to watch an animated replay with a simulated mass start.

Pre event info

SO's first contribution to the Kent Night cup league. This event will be run entirely using the MapRun App. If you are not familiar with this please take a look at https://maprunners.weebly.com/. You will need to have installed this App in order to compete at this event.

SONiC Series Info

SONiCs are events held during the evening hours of darkness and take place either around streets or in parks/woods. They are score events where you get an hour to visit as many controls as you can, with everyone starting at the same time. For insurance purposes juniors under the age (actual age) of 16 are not allowed to compete in street events unaccompanied. For the street events a small torch is helpful to read the map. For forest events a stronger (head)torch is recommended.

Directions / Parking

Parking in the high street car park (free after 6pm).

Course Information

A 60 minute score event with 21 controls. 20 points per control with 10 points lost per minute late.

Note that timing will be via MapRun - no dibbing involved. Please sign in at registration so we know who has started, and again when you finish. The event can be downloaded from the MapRun UK/Sussex/KNC folder, it is best to download this while you have good internet access. At 7:25 we will gather at the north end of the car park and you can start the MapRun app. Upon starting the App it will tell you that you have punched 0/21 controls but the timing won't start until you reach the start triangle. The start itself is some 50m from the prestart. When you reach the start the App will start timing and you will receive your map. The finish is at the south end of the car park.
