Description
A super fun, technical and VERY urban course! Yep, it doesn't get any more urban than the centre of downtown Vancouver. Plenty of different route choices to separate the competition.
Schedule
6:15pm - Orienteering introduction for beginners
6:30pm - Starts begin
8:30pm - Course Closure, participants must report to the Finish by Course Closure Time.
Courses:
Two courses will be offered, one of which is easier/shorter and suitable for beginners/families. The other of which is Longer/Harder.
Safety Precautions:
Since this course is right in the centre of downtown please be very cautious of traffic. Follow traffic lights and stay on pedestrian friendly sidewalks and walkways.
Parking/Start/Finish Locations:
Of course parking downtown is always a nightmare so you might consider leaving your car at home, or finding a park 'n ride location near a skytrain station. The start/finish location is just outside the Burrard Skytrain Station in the grassy area (also known as Discovery Square). This makes it easily accessible via public transit (there is also a bus loop in this location). There are multiple pay parking lots in the immediate area as well.
