There are portable toilets dotted around nearby and the nearest parking lot is to the West of the building, accessed via 4th Street. Other parking options include a parking lot off of 42nd Avenue and street parking is of course always an option.
Pin flags will be out from 16:00 on Tuesday, 2 January to 20:00 on Wednesday, 3 January.
There will be no social.
Course details:
- 3.3km (22 controls)
- Letter sized paper. 1:5000 with 2.5m contours.
There is a lot of ice, especially on the smaller trails in the park. You may want to consider wearing something a bit more aggressive than road runners.
FWOC is offering TNTs (Toques and Training Series) again this year. You must be a current member of FWOC (or another Canadian orienteering club - OC Member) to participate. You only have to pay once through Interpodia / 2M, and you will be sent participant information including exact location each week.

Pin flags will be set out for the duration of the event (from Tuesday at 6pm to Wednesday at 8pm). Thus, participants who would prefer to run during the day can run Wednesday morning or afternoon.
