Virtual Orienteering Courses – Urban

Urban orienteering activities for over-16s – participate for free at a time that suits you.

37-second Intro – British Orienteering have produced this great little video and an explanation of these activities, also known as Virtual Orienteering Courses.

Overview – Looking for an orienteering experience without leaving the streets of Hertfordshire? We’ve set up a large collection of courses throughout Hertfordshire’s towns and villages where you can run using your phone using the MapRun6 app. Courses have been risk-assessed. For your safety you must read the pre-read information, and any additional safety information on the map. No smartphone? You can still run the course, with the option to upload your track from a GPS recorder.

Not sure how to get started? Try this MapRun quick start guide. Then print out a physical map from the “Map” link in the tables below. We also have a Street-O specific Introductory Guide

Where? See all our MapRun events on a map. This includes our park Virtual Orienteering Courses as well.

2021 event courses:

Courses are available for DIY-O for all our 2021 events. These events are PIN-protected but the PIN is available on the map – this ensures you have all the safety and control information to hand!
MapRun courses are in the MapRun folder /UK/Hertfordshire/StreetO-2021
