Intermediate group - this group will spend the session going through the key intermediate orienteering techniques - compass use, looking up and recognizing features, and reading ahead.
Advanced and Train to Train groups - these groups will have some courses with complex sprint route choice legs to tackle on a couple of variations on the map. We will be sharing tips on finding the best route and will be able to compare the different routes afterwards.
Team Canada athletes - Team Canada athletes will be running o-tervals (orienteering course intervals) with a pursuit start. Courses will include extremely challenging route choices.
