LOREE FOREST MAPRUN
JULY 23-26, 2026
MapRun is a popular, free GPS-based smartphone app that allows you to participate in virtual orienteering events on your own schedule. It tracks your location, "punches" checkpoints when your phone's GPS detects your arrival at the correct location, and instantly records your time and results when you are finished. Although the app can be used for organized races, most people use MapRun courses to go for a run or hike on their own. In these cases, there are no physical flags on the course but the MapRun app notifies you when you reach the checkpoint.
SCHEDULE
Thursday, July 23, 6:30 pm - Special Guest!
Optional Intro to the MapRun app with Patrick Saile, the Program Director of Dontgetlost Adventure Running, who is coming up from Hamilton to share his experience (and enjoy a run in beautiful Loree Forest!) After the Intro, you are welcome to run or hike the course or you can return over the next few days.
All day Thursday, July 23 to Sunday, July 26:
The Loree Forest Virtual MapRun course will be available to registered participants to run or hike on their own schedule.
Dontgetlost club members can run and re-run this MapRun course at any time throughout 2026.
FORMAT
The MapRun course is a Choose Your Adventure format. You will have 90 minutes to visit as many checkpoint locations as possible, in any order. Gather points at each checkpoint, but don't be late - for every minute overtime, you start to lose points. If you'd rather go out for a shorter time, that's totally OK!
