QE Park - World Orienteering Week Why Just Run
May 22nd 2024 6:00pm - 8:00pm
Organizer: Victoria Cote (Course Planner)
Map: Queen Elizabeth Park
World Orienteering Week is GVOC's annual come and try orienteering event. The loops are short and easy with beginners in mind. If you've orienteered before, please invite a friend that hasn't. Start with the first loop and work your way up or try any loop that you like.
You can just sign up for one loop and then try them all. There will be plenty of maps.
Why Just Run
What should I bring? Wear something comfortable that you don't mind getting a little dirty! If it's wet outside, you might want to consider a change of shoes and socks! A compass is optional (we have extra ones for borrowing). For added safety, a whistle is mandatory for all GVOC events. Read more in the WJR Introduction to Orienteering.
How much does it cost? Regular "Why Just Run:" events cost adult: $10 / under 20: $5 / family discount (adult(s) with children) 40% (we now accept credit and debit cards on site). Some special events may cost a little more, and this will be made clear in the event detail above. Annual club membership is also required.
Club membership: See details on the club home page. Please complete before your first event!
Refunds: If a participant is unable to attend an event for any reason the event organizer may refund the event fees (at their discretion) but the processing fees will not be refunded. If an event is changed or cancelled by GVOC and participants request a refund, the processing fees will be refunded.
