Parking and meeting point: We will be meeting by the parking for McCarthy Park / the Hunt Club-Riverside Park Community /Centre on Paul Anka Dr near McCarthy Rd for a 6:30pm start. See map for exact location.
Training: As this is the first practice of the season the session will be designed to get you back into the routine and flow of orienteering and map reading. The intermediate level and anyone else who wants to tag along will be doing a map walk with an instructor. You will go out as a group and get some instructions and tips from one of our experienced coaches to kick start your season.
Advanced orienteers will have a series of courses getting gradually more challenge to practice your map reading and your 'flow'.
There will be some tips and helpful advice from one of our coaches at the start of the practice and there will be coaches around throughout to give you feedback.
HPP and Train to Train program athletes will start with a group warm-up that anyone is welcome to join.
A reminder to please e-mail Jeff Teutsch at programs@ottawaoc.ca by noon on Thursday to reserve a map. We do not guarantee maps for those that don't send an e-mail.
