Practice details:

This practice will take place on a new version of a classic map - Cité des Jeunes! Consider it a sneak peek of what you will get to experience at O-Fest this fall! This is a super challenging area but one with lots of trails through it. As per usual, different groups will be working on skills at different levels. This time they are all related to contours:

Intermediate group - this group will spend the session doing a map walk with an instructor. They will be looking at, and talking about contours, how to read and interpret them etc. It's a big topic but such an important one!

Advanced and Train to Train groups - these groups will have a course where you will have to rely heavily on reading the contours (the trails have been removed from most of the map!). Coaches will provide advice on how to make the most of this.

Team Canada athletes - Team Canada athletes will be working with a contours only map!
