Heading to do your first permanent MapRun? Let us step you through it:

1. Load the free app before you leave home:

​2. Decide on the MapRun location you are going to. You can view all of the available locations here.  Print the map and take note of the start area and parking, if you are travelling by car.

​3. Open the app and tap Select Event. Scroll until you find the folder Queensland > MapRun Parks Qld. From here, select the location and course you want to do (internet connection is required for this).

4. Ready? On your mark, get set, GO! Make your way around the course.
How to Participate

• Open the MapRun app.
• Press "GOTO START" and the map with course will appear on your screen.
• Check the orange time box – the Time field displays elapsed time, the Remaining field displays the duration of the course.
• Check Visited field – to see your status – at this stage “Not Started / nn” where nn is the number of controls in the course.
• Find the start location in the real world – you need to pass through it to commence the timing and start your course.
• Each control you visit earns you points according to its decimal – a control numbered ‘38’ is worth 30 points, likewise ‘42’ is worth 40 points.
• Note that there is a score penalty for lateness – you lose 30 points for each minute late. Tap “Start the GPS”, then make your way to the start.
