In the MapRun6 app, Select Event and look for Stewart Park xxxxx under UK / Cleveland / Middlesbrough, where xxxxx is Experienced, Intermediate or Beginner.

These courses remain inside Stewart Park, so they are suitable for all ages.

Your result is the time it takes you to visit all the controls and then go to the Finish.

If you'd prefer to use a paper map rather than the one on your smartphone (which is going to be quite small and can be tricky to see in bright sunlight) you can download a PDF copy of the map from the Go Orienteering website and print it off at home.
Note: On the Go Orienteering website, add the relevant map to your basket and then go through the checkout process.  You won't be charged anything.

If you don't have a suitable printer, Phill Batts is offering a map printing service.

Results

You can access the results in your MapRun6 app or via the MapRun Console.  Open the menu (three horizontal lines at the top left-hand corner of the window), select Leader Board and then filter by Stewart Park.

Please ensure you use a buddy system so that someone knows when you should return.

If you are running after dark or in gloomy conditions, please wear high visibility / reflective clothing; e.g. a high-viz vest, reflective armbands or something similar. Be aware the park gates are shut after 6 pm.

Be aware of underfoot conditions – for example, wet or icy footpaths/pavements/roads – and take appropriate care.
