WEO #20 - Bottomlands - LAST WEO! Wednesday Evening series

Organizer: Marsha Fehr (Event Director)

Map: Bottomlands

Thanks to Marsha for fun courses and to everyone who came out and enjoyed the last event of the season. Special thanks to all the great volunteers including Christin, Ewan, Vital, Jennifer, Colin, Michael N and Tim.

Join us for the last event of the season! The weather is holding up for a fun day at Bottomlands Park, a mix of park and community running.

• Novice course: 1.8 km including a lovely view from the top of Tom Campbell's Hill:)
• Intermediate: 2.8 km up and over the hill and into Bridgeland!
• Advanced: 3.9 km (currently) with an explore of some newly mapped buildings / areas in Bridgeland.

If the parking lot at Bottomlands Park is full, consider parking further north next to the soccer field. You have to pay for parking at Telus Spark.

Course notes:

• Mixed terrain: trails, grasslands, city parks and streets
• Map is old. Sections have been updated.
• Sprint standard (so scale is 1:5000) but not the new sprint symbol set nor sprint distances.
• Don't forget your headlamp if you run on the later end of the course time window.

IF YOU WANT TO GUARANTEE A MAP, you MUST register by Tuesday at noon. The organizer gets the map numbers to print at that point. You can register after that BUT we can NOT ensure you will have a map. Some extras are printed.

Wednesday Evening Orienteering (WEO)

• in-person orienteering events
• with control flags and SI timing units in the terrain
