Map Information

Courses
- Beginner (1.2km, 9 controls)
- A simple point-to-point course suitable for those who are relatively new to the sport. The course does not cross the Elbow River.
- Letter-sized paper.
- Intermediate (3.0km, 17 controls)
- A slightly harder and longer point-to-point course with the added challenge of route-choice legs. This course does cross the Elbow River.
- Letter-sized paper.
- Separate control descriptions will be available.
- Advanced (5.1km, 27 controls)
- A series of three ~1.5-1.8km loops that together explore the entire map. Be prepared for lots of running!
- Letter sized paper.
- Separate control descriptions will be available.
Notes
- Please be mindful of other park users.
- Be careful of vehicles when crossing any streets.
- For the Advanced course: please keep in mind that the narrow passages, etc. in the SW part of the map are often blocked or may in reality be someone's yard. If it looks like you'll be bothering someone by running through a passage, don't do it!
- As always, you must be back by 20:00 regardless of whether you have finished your course. I won't be letting anyone start later than 19:30 on the Beginner and Intermediate courses, or later than 19:15 on the Advanced course.
2023 Wednesday Evening Orienteering (WEO) Series
- Regular orienteering on Wednesday evenings - this means in-person with control flags and SI units in the terrain from 6:30-8pm on the day of the event.
- You will need an SI stick; you can borrow one from the club on the night of the event if you do not own one.
- You will have to pre-register for the events.
- You can pay for each session separately
- You can sign up for the series and get a discount
- The last day to register for each Wednesday event is the Monday evening before it to guarantee we have a map printed for you.
- You will need to be a 2023 member of Foothills Orienteering (FWOC), a 2023 member of another Canadian orienteering club, or purchase a “day of the event membership”.
- We will be using Maprun6 so, if you registered for the event, you can run anytime if you do not want to run on the evening of the event.
- There will be about 20 Wednesday Evenings in the series.
