Final MapRun of the season

By Webmaster , 23 July, 2023

Matthew Chessum's Valley Park MapRun concluded on Thursday evening with a great turnout at the post-run social. Simon Farrington had been topping the leaderboard for the past week but was overtaken on the night by David Currie. Paul Thwaites also cleared 26 controls to put him in third place. Emily Hopkinson was first lady. In the overall results, David's lead is now unassailable. Paul has moved ahead of Andy Snell but there's still only one point separating them so it's all still to play for...

For the final event of the season, Norman Wilson has planned a challenging event around Romsey. The combination of railway lines and rivers always make route planning that much harder! The social will be on Thursday 3rd August 2023 at the Old House at Home.
