Score events

A different type of challenge

In score events, there’s no fixed course: instead, there’s a set of control points which you can visit in any order.

  • Each control has a point value: your aim is to score as many points as you can within a fixed time (usually an hour).
  • Often the highest-scoring controls will be trickier to find, or further away.
  • If you pick an efficient route, you can outscore faster runners despite having travelled less far!

Our score events

  • We always start the year with a New Year’s Day score event.
  • Our Western Night League events are one-hour score events at night.
  • Also see our MapRun events: a frequent series of low-key score events using the MapRun app.
