TNT #12 Lake Bonavista Results Toques & Training series

Organizer: Jennifer Alexander (Organizer)

Thank you to Gabe, a first timer!, for course planning and map creation! Thanks too to Jennifer for organizing the event.

This week's event will be held on a new map in Lake Bonavista! Get ready to embark on an exciting adventure through two of Calgary's most scenic and vibrant communities. Nestled amidst beautiful parks, winding pathways, and lush green spaces, Lake Bonavista and Parkland offer the perfect backdrop for an exhilarating day of exploration and navigation. Whether you're a seasoned orienteer or a first-timer looking for some outdoor fun, this event promises a unique challenge that tests your map-reading skills and endurance.

It’s a standard point-to-point that is 7 kms with 18 controls. Of course, you can choose to make it shorter if you like. Conditions are good. Packed snow on trails and mostly cleared sidewalks and pathways; however, wear shoes with good traction, studded shoes are best for these conditions.
