Competitive Races In addition to being a championship weekend for the kids, the Orienteering, for the win! event will also be a sanctioned "A-Meet" for everyone else. There will be an individual, point-to-point, two-day competition for adults. Day 1 will take place at Fort Ebey State Park on April 21, 2012, and Day 2 will take place at Lord Hill Regional Park on April 22, 2012.

For juniors not competing in either the Interscholastic or Intercollegiate Championships (ie: Canadian juniors, non-collegiate juniors), we will have Junior competitive categories, too. (M-20, M-18, M-16, M-14, M-12, M-10, F-20, F-18, F-16, F-14, F-12, F-10) Recreational Courses If you're never tried orienteering before, or if you're not interested in being competitive, or if you'd just like to go out for a nice walk in the woods, recreational courses available at both the Fort Ebey and Lord Hill events! There is no advanced registration required to participate recreationally: just show up to the event and register! Entry fees will be the standard for Cascade local events: $6 for club members, $11 for non club members. There will be a recreational course available each day, with day-of-event signup. So, if you didn't sign up for the competitive stuff, or if you'd like to bring a friend, we will have courses at Fort Ebey and Lord Hill. Saturday @ Fort Ebey, register between 9:30am and 11:30am. 3.1 km, beginner navigation level. Sunday @ Lord Hill, register between 9:00am and 10:00am. 4.8 km, beginner / intermediate level. (The Lord Hill registration closes earlier because you'll need to catch a shuttle up to the north entrance, and the last shuttle leaves at 10:30am). |
