We invite you to our first meeting of the fall this Sunday, September 7. The activity will take place near the Meredith Community Center at 23 Cecil Road in Chelsea, Quebec. We are grateful to the landowners of the area who have given us permission to hold our meet on their land. The landowners will require all participants to sign an additional waiver during registration. Please be sure to sign a paper copy of this waiver at the registration tent in addition to registering on the tablets.

A new map has been built on a relatively small area (0.5 km²) which includes a forested area with some trails on hilly terrain (60-meter high hill system), as well as open land with buildings and sports fields. The map scale will be 1:5,000, which will allow good readability for all courses.

Please park here just before the soccer fields: https://maps.app.goo.gl/aopvJGuZk6mJVdDy7

Registration, start and finish will be closer to the community center at the end of Cecil road, an easy 200 metres walk. Washrooms are available inside the community center – please no cleats or dirty shoes inside!

Registration 10:00AM – 11:00AM

Starts: 10:15 - 11:15

Finish: Courses close and controls are collected at 2pm. All participants must report to finish by 2pm.

There will be a mini-clinic for newcomers at 10:30 am.

4 courses available :

  1. Novice – 2.3 km – elevation gain 38 m
  2. Intermediate – 3.0 km – elevation gain 70 m
  3. Short advanced – 3.5 km – elevation gain 75 m
  4. Long advanced – 6.1 km with a map flip – elevation gain 160 m

If you are not a member, please complete a 'pre-registration' form 48 hours in advance so that we can add you to our on-site database. This will help to speed up the on-site registration for you and others and give you a chance to review the waiver in advance.

Many thanks to Bill Meldrum who helped me build the map and who controled this event, as well as Karen Noseworthy for her help coordinating with the land owner and support crew.

Frédéric Bédard, meet director
