Careful gg, it can get addictive. A few folk have had to leave to avoid injury or madness! :-) G

HappyG - Iโ€™m assuming it depends on your map โ€˜underneathโ€™ your grid as far as what your mileage to hit all squares would be..but I could be wrong

There must be a theoretically optimal route (or more than one) though whether the topology exists anywhere to physically run it would be a different question.
A really large flat place, maybe, if the person has excellent GPS accuracy.

I think this match is yours ITG; I'm all about Fetchpoint now the evenings have got lighter and longer and I can range further. Limiting myself to a tiny 3.2km square is for the winter, reckon.

Nice Ocho badge, BTW. I have a square I can do that in, but not until the pools reopen here.

In terms of efficiency, If you could run in a Hilbert curve then you would cover the grid in about 24km, but this would be running through the centre point of every grid square. You would be able to reduce this significantly, but it would also require high precision GPS....

Yikes! *Brain fried*

I was thinking in practical terms it would probably help to live somewhere with a grid system of roads, like the USA.

Run East edge A1-A15, slip 1cm over border to B15, slight diagonal to east edge or B1, 1cm east to c1 and diagonal down to east edge of c15... etc until rown 15 where you follow the very west edge to O15.

Can also be pivoted 90C.

Also am not a mathemetician.

Someone else can work our how far that is.
