>>	Experienced	4.4 km
>>	Intermediate	2.6 km
>>	Beginners	1.4 km

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

The competition area is parkland with small wooded areas, a large network of paths and tracks, many varying vegetation types and a variety of man-made features; e.g. statues, bandstands, etc.

All the courses remain inside Albert Park, so they are suitable for all ages.

The Beginners course is suitable for wheelchairs and buggies / push-chairs.

Paper maps

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 web site and print it off at home.
Note: On the Go Orienteering web site, 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 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 Albert Park.  (You might need to set the Days History to a large number first.)
