Description

Welcome.

This WET will be organized at Robert Burnaby Park in BBY. The registration, start and finish will be right next to the pool area in the parking lot. Please, see map and location. Rain cover/ shelter is avail. at this location. I am aiming at an early start at 6.30 pm due to the difficulty of the longer course, but 6.45 pm start time is still ok for those who cannot make it till 6.30. Dark sets in around 8.30 so I designate this time as course closure time. Please bring your head light, and whistle..... just in case.

Expect lots of mud, bush and undergrowth. Dress Properly, use proper shoes, the steeper trails are very slippery.  The long course will be technically challenging.

There will be no reflective stickers on flags.

Both courses are touching city areas with car traffic. Please behave appropietly, yield cars at all times. Stay on the shoulder of the roads.

Please sign up till Wednesday 10 am. so, I can print enough maps.

Courses:

Two courses will be offered, one of which is easier/shorter depending on terrain and suitable for beginners/families. The second of which is Longer/Harder depending on terrain. The long course will be difficult, with lots of mud, creek crossings and occaisonal thick bush/ undergrowth. Some climbing involved. Short course is more friendly. One can expect mud and wet conditions on trails. No bushwacking.
