Gatineau Park, P16 classic event Spring Series
May 26th 2019 10:00am - 2:00pm
Map: Meech Valley South
Meet Director : Robbie Graham, Controller: Marketa Graham
This Sunday we are o-ing at Meech Valley South, parking and registration at P16. See below for maps to help you plan your route through the road closures to P16.
Start and finish for Novice and Intermediate will be at the parking lot.
The finish for advanced courses will be approximately 500m up the trail and the start another 500m further.
With the recent flooding, courses have been designed to avoid crossing the main stream (hence the remote start/finish). However, advanced courses must cross the north bridge to get to and from the start/finish. Novice and Intermediate will not cross the stream at any point. The south bridge is broken and will be marked as such on the map, courses are designed to avoid it entirely.
The forest is open with nice runnability. Trilliums are in full bloom! Please avoid stepping on these pretty flowers. Water features are distinct this time of year. As always check for ticks.
Map scales for Novice/Intermediate 1:7,500 and Advanced courses 1:10,000
Novice: 2.7km, 14 controls
Intermediate: 3.6km, 14 controls
Short Advanced: 3.9km, 85m climb, 11 controls
Medium Advanced: 6.5km, 150m climb, 17 controls
Long Advanced: 7.9km, 175m climb, 21 controls
There is a water control about 60% through each of the advanced courses.
