1. Use the Google map or other GPS apps in your phone to locate yourself
2. If you are with another runner, stay together. Use jacket or vest that visible and easy to be seen
from distance
3. Stop. Think through your recent movement and if safe, backtrack to your last known place on
course
4. Using your map and compass, try to establish your general position using terrain features. Clues
may include in what direction is the slope, valley or ridge that you are on?, can you see major
landmarks in the distance (mount Arjuno, Mahapena, Lincing Hill, mount Welirang etc). If any of
these clues give you confidence to try to get back on the course, follow your new route but note
(visually, verbally or written) your current position so you can come back if it doesn’t work out
5. If you are definitely lost, try using mobile phone to call Evacuation Team to advise them and ask
for assistance. If you have phone from different phone operator, try them. If you can’t make a
voice call, try an SMS text message – keep resending texts until you get response from
Evacuation Team.
6. You may need to move to a place with a better phone reception. In general a hill or ridge will be
better than a valley. Use your course map and compass if applicable, GPS watch to try to
establish your likely position.
