Thursday 5th June 2025 - Lugwardine
Lugwardine is a small village on the North Eastern outskirts of Hereford. The course covers Lugwardine, the neighbouring villages of Hagley and Bartestree, and the fields and byways around both, so a lovely mix of village lanes and the surrounding footpaths. The main road A438 through the area is 30mph but is sometimes busy and care needs to be taken crossing. It does have pavements on at least one side along the whole length. There are 4 pelican crossings marked on the map which could be used.
NOTE to all MAPRUNNERS. You must be using MapRun v7 to run this course. It is just called MapRun. If you have MapRun6 or MapRunF please remove them and install just plain Maprun.
Entries are now open and will close at midnight on Wednesday 4th June .

Timing and Fees
Starts from 18:30 to 19:00. Note that the event start window is 30 minutes later than of late, to allow extra travel time, but you may be able to start a bit earlier if the organiser is there and the maps have arrived (normally well in time for the start window!)
To guarantee a map, you will need to pre-enter via Fabian4: entries are open, and will stay open until midnight on Wednesday 4th June. A few extra maps will be available for entry on the day, but don't rely on this, and ideally bring cash, although we do now have an available card reader.
Entry fees: £5 seniors, plus £1 for unaffiliated (to British Orienteering) runners, £2 juniors (no added fee for unaffiliated juniors). Competitors aged under-16 must be accompanied. The fee covers third party liability insurance, a map printed on waterproof paper, and post-run cake!
