Looks like we had some very fast runs yesterday! If you self-timed and would like your results included in the list, please email [email protected]. Results for those who mispunched are not shown.

FOR REGULAR CLUB MEMBERS:

Important:

• You MUST pre-register for a time-slot at least one day before the event (see below).
• On the day of the event, you must Submit a completed Individual Declaration of Health for each attendee (only valid for the day the form is submitted).

Course Info:

Beginner 1.1km Not all on trails. Some simple navigation required.

Intermediate 2.8km Does cross to the west side of 10th street - you must use the tunnel to access the west side. Does not leave the park.

Advanced 3.9km Does cross to the west side of 10th street - you must use the tunnel to access the west side. A little running on the surrounding streets and alleys.

The courses are on MapRun6. The link and the code for each course will be in the email.

Course Sign Up:

Due to insurance and Alberta Health requirements, you must pre-register for a timeslot and map using the link to the signup sheet that will be emailed to you if you are a Member and have a Season's Pass. We can not accept on-site registrations this season.

Info for SOGO Members and Parents:

SOGO Adventure Running members should email [email protected] if they do not receive the signup sheet link. Current registrants in a SOGO program have a non-voting annual membership and Season's Pass to Foothills Orienteering. Parents are not automatically members unless they are registered in a parented Squirts program. Parents need to sign up for a Foothills Orienteering membership if on the course with their children but they do not require an additional season pass if sharing the same map. Note that we are unable to provide supervision or coaching at the event, so parents or guardians must purchase a membership if they want to accompany their child on the course.

Membership and Season's Passes:

If you do not have a Membership and Season's Pass, you can purchase one at 2021 FWOC Membership and Program Registration.

A Season's Pass entitles you to a free map at each Wednesday Event for one half or one full season (we plan to hold ~24 weekly events in the full season). Special events will have an additional fee (Solstice BBQ, Spook-O, Forest Events). When you register on Zone 4 (link above), if you are already a 2021 member, click "no" to buy a membership and continue on in the registration form.

If you register for Navigation 101, do NOT purchase First Half Pass as this is included in the cost of the program. Consider purchasing the Second Half Pass if you want to orienteer for the full season.

Event Info:

• There will be pin flags in the terrain for the intermediate/advanced course on the Wednesday from 2 - 8 pm. Do NOT touch the pin flags or control flags (as a COVID precaution). You can have a pdf of the map emailed to you if you would like to run between 2 - 6:30 pm.
• The Beginners' course will be set up from 6:30 - 8 pm with control flags; the organizer or a volunteer will be available to provide an introduction or instruction in orienteering as needed. Maps will be available for pick-up during this time. If you have never orienteered before, please sign up for one of our Try-It events in our calendar.
• Remember that the park will likely be quite busy, so please respect other park users and keep your distance.
