Derby Night MapRuns Autumn 2024
Results
Our Derby MapRun series Autumn 2024 has started! Great to joined by local running clubs, those up for a navigation and fitness challenge, and familiar faces from last year.
We kicked off the series from Chaddesden Park and then headed to Derby North for the second event. Thankfully very few tales of woe to report although one competitor returned tonight having had a fight with a thorn bush. And another forgot their running kit but still competed in jeans!
There are often no preferred routes between controls in technical parts of the course (Derby North)!
Belper was hilly – reducing climb as well as distance became the challenge – and the start in a flat park was deceptive. Spondon was flatter but our planner pushed us to the limits with many tricky route choice decisions.
Everyone enjoying a well earned drink!
Note: our Mapruns take a short break – the next Maprun will be Thurs 14 Nov in Oakwood.
