  • 6:30 - 8pm on the day of the event
  • Pre - registration required for each event to secure a printed map. Please register before Monday evening before the Wednesday night.
  • If you are unable to attend on the day of the event, you may wish to download the MapRun app and use it to run anytime up to a year afterwards.

Course Selection

When registering, there are several courses to choose from:

  • Beginner: the easiest and shortest course, suitable for beginner orienteers and families; simple navigation; approx 1.5-2kms, staying on trails.
  • Intermediate: requires orienteering/navigation skills; approx 2-3.5kms
  • Advanced: the longest and potentially most challenging course, approx 4 kms (or more). On some maps, organizers may suggest cutting off some controls to allow participants to run a Short Advanced option. There will be separate results if there is a short advanced option.

Volunteering:

Each WEO event takes about 10 volunteers. We really need our membership to support these evenings in order to keep these WEOs happening. It is a great way to meet more members, and some roles help improve your orienteering skills! If you would like to help out in any way - no experience necessary - please reach out to [email protected] or click on the Volunteer Link below.
