Explore the Wildlife Park with a map, on foot, before opening hours! Navigate around, tracks, clearings and features of the Park to find checkpoints and collect a score. The course is time limited to 90 minutes.
Four grades of courses are offered:

Use your 90 minutes to visit checkpoints, visiting as many as possible. But be careful! If you are late back you will lose points.
Penalties are:

3 points per minute on the Long Hard course
The MapRun app will be used for timing.
