This Lockdown event will use the free Maprun F app to track and verify your run and register your time. If you have not used the App before please see our full information on our website page
Where to find the courses on the app: Open the app → Select Event → UK Folder → Aire Valley Folder → Lockdown Series → Colton Long Colton Medium →Download
You can do more than one course by downloading both courses if you wish
Course:Two courses – Long 5.5km (21 controls) and Medium 3.9km (13 controls)
Map: Urban map at 1:5000 contour interval 2.5 m. Download your map to take with you.
We recommend running with the paper map and stowing your phone.
We suggest you are 100% ready to run when you switch the app on so as not to utilise any of your precious time! If you do have a false start just end your run and start again.
Important Note;Do not go near the finish area en route between any 2 controls. The app will likely finish your run - which would be very frustrating. The courses are designed to make going near the finish midway through the course a very poor route choice
Colton is an interesting urban area with modern housing separated by grassed areas with plenty of snickets. To the north west is an older, more intricate housing estate with many snickets, garages and parking areas. A great urban challenge.
