Winter Orienteering - SJAM Winter Series
February 18th 2019 10:00am - 1:00pm
Winter Orienteering on the SJAM Winter Trail on Skis, Fat-bike or Foot!
Family Day, Monday, Feb. 18th
In partnership with the SJAM Winter Trail, Orienteering Ottawa is thrilled to be hosting a Winter Orienteering Event for Skiers, Fat-bikers, Walkers, Runners and Snow-shoe-ers! Everyone is welcome!
The Registration, Start and Finish will be at the Remic Rapids parking area, around the new NCC Nordic Village and fire pit!
For Family Day, we have designed two fun courses for families and individuals that are new to orienteering. We will have club members on hand to explain orienteering and get you going on your courses!
Family Short Course (2.3 km, 10 checkpoints)
Family Long Course (4.1 km, 16 checkpoints)
For folks with orienteering experience, we have designed two more advanced courses:
Advanced Short Course (5.5 km, 16 checkpoints)
Advanced Long Course (8.8 km, 21 checkpoints)
All distances above are straight-line routes. The actual distance traveled on skis or bike or foot can be 30% longer depending on the route taken! For each of the four courses above, we will have three sub-classes (ski, bike or foot) according to your chosen method of propulsion!
Registration will be open from 10:00 am until 11:00 am. For this special event, the registration fee is $7 per individual or $15 per family. You will be provided a map of your course and a loaner electronic timing stick. You can report to the Start and get going anytime between 10 am until 11:30 am. Courses close at 2:00 pm; please report back to the Finish before 2 pm or we will start looking for you!
After you finish, we welcome you to have some hot chocolate around the firepit and cheer for the other finishers as they arrive!
