March Highlands Spring Event Spring Series
May 14th 2023 10:00am - 2:00pm
Map: March Highlands
On Sunday, May 14, we return to the excellent terrain of March Highlands.
There will be 4 courses:
- Novice, 2.2km, 1:7500
- Intermediate, 3.0 km , 1:7500
- Short Advanced, 4.2 km, 1:7500
- Long Advanced , 6.6 km 1:10,000
There will be water on the intermediate and advanced courses.
We use the March Highlands area fairly often, so in order to allow folks to experience new areas of the map, we have place the start and finish much farther west than usual. The registration and download will be in the usual location near the junction of Klondike and Second Line. The start will be 650 m from registration and from the finish to the download will be a 500 m cool down. Don't forget to download on your way back to the car.
Please note that for the next 4 weeks we will not be able to accept payment by credit or debit. Please bring cash or cheque (paid to Orienteering Ottawa) if you will need payment.
Some safety reminders:
March Highlands is a popular area for mountain biking. Be aware when crossing trails and share the trails with the cyclists.
The ticks are also enjoying this nice weather. Be sure to do a tick check following your run.
Join us and have an enjoyable outing for Mother's Day.
