[EurekaO] BUNS Update
[EurekaO] BUNS StreetO Series

[EurekaO] BUNS/Streeto Series February March 2020
[EurekaO] Tonight’s BUNS Training Event at Lake Gardens
Just a reminder that Warwick is setting the event tonight at 6pm from the shops in Lake Gardens – follow the directions below. Hope to see you there! It is a 60 minute scatter event for walkers/runners – and given the flatness of the terrain should make it possible to get a “perfect score” of 20/20 controls. Bring your bike if you want to make the course a different kind of challenge.
Thursday Jan 21
Lake Gardens
Start at the Lake Gardens shops, enter on Lake Gardens Ave then right on Cedars Grv (QR)
[EurekaO] BUNS streeto event this afternoon.
[EurekaO] Tomorrow at Yuille’s Homestead
G’day all,
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at 6 o’clock. Just thought I should let you know that the area is pretty grass-seedy, so don’t wear your best socks, and you may like to bring gaiters or something like that.
Warwick.
[EurekaO] Park/Street/Urban Orienteering Events in Ballarat – two in December, two in January
MapRun Maps
Hi Everyone,
For anyone visiting or residing in Ballarat who would like to go for a run using the MapRunF application, the following maps are available to print off. All are suitable for A4 paper.
If you have the older MapRun application, please install the newer MapRunF app, which is on the Apple App Store, or Google Play for Android devices.
Once in MapRunF, go Select Event, then browse into the Victoria folder, then Ballarat.
With any MapRun event, it is important that once you start your course, you STAY AWAY from the FINISH point, until you intend to finish! This is not usually an issue on the line courses, but is important for the score courses, if you happen to choose a route that takes you close to the Finish point before you’re ready to end your run.
New feature – Start Anywhere! Peter Effeney (the developer of MapRun) has recently added a new feature to MapRunF, which is a fabulous enhancement, especially for the current COVID-19 situation. Previously, the Start and Finish locations on each course were fixed by the course setter, and you had to start and finish your run at the designated locations. Now, course setters can configure a course in “Start Anywhere” mode, and in this mode you are able to start your run at ANY control on the course. MapRunF will automatically reconfigure itself to make this point your Start and Finish location for that run. So you don’t have to travel further than you have to, or if any point on a course is close to your home, you can start and finish there.
After you click [Go to Start] on a Start Anywhere course to “arm” MapRunF, the first control location you register a visit at, becomes your Start and Finish location. As explained above, once you leave the Start/Finish location you choose, don’t approach this point again until you intend to finish and end your run. After starting, for score and scatter courses, you choose the controls to visit and the order, as usual. For line courses, run the course from your chosen start/finish point in increasing number order to the highest number, then run to control 1 and continue in increasing number order until you get back to the start/finish point.
More maps and courses will be added in coming days. If you have a specific request for some MapRun controls in an area close to you, please send me an email! Enquiries to Ian Chennell, email president@eurekaorienteers.asn.au.
