Darley Park - Saturday 6 June 2026
Local Event
About this event
Join us for this last event in our Spring Series in lovely Darley Park. As usual, we have three courses, but instead of MapRun, we have chip timing with the SportIdent system we use at larger events.
We loan you the chip – called a ‘dibber’ – that you wear on a finger, and ‘dib’ in a red box at each checkpoint. After you’ve finished your course, you ‘Download’ and receive a print-out of your split times.
