COURSE MAPS - NOW AVAILABLE ON CAPRA!
The Wild Earth Coastal High will be utilising the Capra app for providing your course information! For returning runners, these courses remain unchanged from 2021/2022.
Regardless of whether you’re new or returning; do some reconnaissance runs pre-event if possible, follow the signage & listen to the marshals on race day and if necessary; refer to the compulsory map you are carrying via your watch, on the Capra app or as a hard copy!

Capra 101
Capra is a free mobile app available in both app stores. Capra is used by teams to better communicate important event information and provide highly detailed maps that can be used offline by event participants and staff.
How to use the Capra app for the event
Save the event ‘Collection’ to your library screen in the app. This makes it easy for you to quickly access all the information for each race and relay leg.
Turn on ‘Send me Alerts’ in the route or collection menu to receive notifications specific to that event.
Individual courses and map ‘pins’ can be bookmarked for quick access via the Bookmarks screen. This is especially useful if you want support crew to focus on a particular point on the map.
Event collections are a great way to check out pre-arrival information such as parking, road closures and where the event village is located.
Distance units are default set to metric, change units to imperial in Account > Settings.
Capra maps provide excellent detail even if offline but make sure you’ve looked at your race map before you set off as the app stores the map detail automatically for use offline. Mandatory gear check is a great time to ensure you’ve looked at your race map.
If you have an emergency tap the ‘life ring’ on the map to give you your exact lat/long details which can be shared easily if you have even a small amount of signal.
You can close the app and put your phone away, e.g. when you’re racing, and when you pull it out the app will open to the screen you were on making it battery efficicient to use as back up in a race.
Each race / relay leg map can be shared easily with friends and support crew via the menu option.
The app does not record your activity so there is nothing to start or stop.
The event collection also pinpoints event partners the team would love you to support when you’re in town and on the event weekend.
Please make sure you are familiar with the app before event day. If you have any questions as to how to setup your phone for event day please contact us well in advance of race week or ask a teenager!
