THE VENUE

  • Kenilworth is a historic residential neighborhood in Asheville perched atop a steep hill just east of Mission Hospital and north of Biltmore Village.
  • The start location features a grassy field, a great kids’ playground, basketball, tennis courts, and restrooms.
  • This week’s course starts at the base of the steep hill at the north-center of the map, with most control points being found to the south and east, in the rolling neighborhood. The western edge of the map is Biltmore Avenue. On the eastern edge is Kenilworth Lake. There is also a Civil War Cemetery, Morningside Park above the Tourists’ baseball diamond, and the iconic Kenilworth Inn, an example of Tudor style architecture with a spectacular mountain view. This is NOT a flat course, so bring your climbing legs!

THE MAP

  • Scale is 1:10,000 with 20 foot contours
  • Mostly black and white with simplified street-O symbol set. Extremely self-explanatory, and everyone gets a map briefing before starting.
  • Legend stresses out of bounds (IF IT’S GRAY STAY AWAY,) crossable features, un-crossable features, and safety information.
  • This activity takes place on public streets. Private drives are marked on the map, will never be necessary for route choice, but are there as features for navigating by.
  • Disclaimer – the data used is from OpenStreetMap, LiDAR sources, and Google Street View.  While every course is tested, in person, prior to your arrival, the map itself is never completely field checked. We do our best to keep up with changes to ensure your map is as accurate as possible.

THE APP

  • MapRun runs on your Android or iPhone smartphone and is how we track, time, and score this orienteering race.
  • You can download and install MapRun here.
  • You can view an example map with instructions from an event that took place in Tasmania, Australia (where Maprun is REALLY popular)
  • Here is an overview video of MapRun in action.
