By alison, on December 24th, 2020  The last night-O of the year was held in Etchinghill, Rugeley last Thursday, and concludes the 2020 season. Somewhat different to usual of course, with the first half (until early March) as standard night-O, then the 2nd half was adapted to use the MapRunF app.
It was close amongst the top 4, but Ray is the clear winner by 2 points and Mary is the ladies champion.
Well done to you both.

By alison, on December 24th, 2020  This year’s Mungo Bone Handicap Race was held over the space of a week, with runners putting in their times using the MapRunF phone app. It wasn’t quite the wettest underfoot conditions but not far off it.
Congratulations to John Robinson for securing victory over all-comers. Top lady, and just behind John was Sue Garside. Fastest runner was Henry Webb in an amazing 13 minutes 47 seconds. Considering the conditions were so poor this is a fantastic time. Fastest lady was Jenny Peel in 22.44.
In the junior race Nathan Peel managed to retain his trophy for another year in a time of 14 minutes 24 seconds.
Thanks to all who ran even if it was a bit surreal. Hopefully back to normal in 2021!

By alison, on August 17th, 2020  We have decided to run the Peel Pursuit, the usual Chasers’ summer handicap run round Brocton Coppice usually run in June, as a virtual race this year. Dave and Neil have recce’d the senior and junior course and set them up on the MaprunF app.
The trophy for the handicap winner and fastest runner will be decided after the courses close on 6th September. Anyone can run the course, but only Walton Chasers members will be eligible for the trophies.
Two of the paths have been narrowed by bracken but this has been pushed back. Not ideal for running but we’ll try and keep the paths passable. NB: this in not a ‘normal’ orienteering course, just a run around a prescribed route.

And the results are in! Not too many competing for the trophies this year, but congratulations to the winners – to Andy Yeates for the fastest time, and to Sally Hughes for winning the handicap race. 2020 Peel Pursuit Results
By alison, on August 6th, 2020  A new MapRun is now live on Brindley, in the centre of Cannock Chase. This time we have a 45 minute score event – just get as many controls as you can in the 45 minute time limit. Our permissions at this time of year mean that you are limited to paths, so please don’t go across the terrain. The MapRun will be available until Sunday 23rd August. Enjoy!
Instructions are here: WCH Summer 4 Brindley Event details (including how to ‘claim’ controls that didn’t register).
This MapRun is now closed – the results are here
By alison, on July 23rd, 2020  The 3rd Chasers MapRun is now live. This time we visit Stafford, and it’s (ruined) castle. There are 3 courses this time – a short, long and a 45 minute score All are within the grounds of the castle. Run any (or all) of the courses whenever suits you – there is nothing out there to mark the controls so it really is a virtual course. Simply print the course you’d like to run, download the MapRunF app (Google Play or AppStore), and follow the instructions in the attached sheet. Enjoy!
NB: The visitor centre and toilets are currently closed.
