Rockcliffe Summer Sprint
July 22nd 2025 6:00pm - 8:00pm
A casual summer sprint will be organized in Rockcliffe Park on the evening of July 22, 2025. Two point-to-point courses will be offered with the following properties:
- Course 1, 4.0km, 19 controls - suitable for intermediate and advanced orienteers
- Course 2, 2.7km, 14 controls - suitable for newbies, families, youngsters and veterans
Distances are measured as the crow flies. Actual running distance will likely be 30-40% further. Both courses will visit the Rockcliffe Rockeries area on the NE side of Rockcliffe Park. Note that you may encounter some off-leash dogs in this area!
Meet on the west side of village Green Park (270 Springfield Rd.) map. Registration will open at 6pm. Start when you like between 6:30 - 7:30pm. Parking is available on the local streets. Public washrooms are available at the Public Library located immediately north of the park (open till 8pm on Tuesdays).
Those interested in a delicious post-race gelato may wish to visit the River House (cafe open till 9pm). There are also several pubs along Beechwood Ave, between Springfield and the Rideau River.
