Pre-Registration for new-comers If you have never attended an Orienteering Ottawa event before, you can complete a pre-registration form at home 36 hours in advance . By providing your personal information here in advance of the event, we can include you in our on-site database, give you a better chance to read the waiver before online acceptance, make the registration process faster for you and speed up registration for all. There is no charge at this point - the final registration and payment will be on-site on the day of the event.

If you are a returning member and have not yet renewed your membership, please complete the membership form 36 hours in advance to save confusion at registration. If you do complete a membership late, bring with you a copy of the email confirmation.

We look forward to seeing you there!
