Scoring will be as previous MapRun leagues with first place getting 50 points, second place 49 points, etc.  The best 4 scores will count for the league.  Planners of league events will be awarded 49 points but only for one event in the 2024 Dorset 2024 Summer MapRun League series.  Age Graded results and league tables will also be produced.

For all the Dorset 2024 Summer MapRun League events, competitors will download and print their own maps. Maps may be downloaded from the links below

Senior competitors will be charged £15 to enter the League (6 events) whilst junior competitors (M/W20-) will be free.  Entry and payment for the league for senior competitors will be via RaceSignUp.  Senior competitors will only appear in the individual event results and league tables from when they enter the league.

MapRun courses which produce results and league tables now incur levy charges from British Orienteering and we also have to pay a small charge to the MapRun organisation for keeping our files on their servers. Initially this cost was absorbed by the club, but from Summer 2023 we feel the need to pass on some of the costs to our clientele, so entry to the series, via Racesignup, is £20 for as many of the 12 planned events as you choose to compete in.  Read the competition details here.

Map files will be available for download two or three days before each new race, starting from March 29th for the April 1st event.
