Description
This week's WET is around this fun East Van park. Be warned--the map is
an ode to historical vegetation (especially big trees that aren't there
any more) so I've had to go pretty traditional. Two courses: advanced
runners will flip their maps after running around the lake and head up
to the high school.
Parking is at the community centre. Bring along an extra pair of dry shoes to change into.

Wednesday Evening Training
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 headlamp or flashlight and reflective clothing is critical in the winter months (late September to April). A compass is optional (we have extra ones for borrowing). For added safety, a whistle is mandatory for all GVOC events.
When should I sign up? Please sign up by Tuesday night so that we can print enough maps, although we have extra maps if you forget.
How much does it cost? All WETs are free with yearly membership ($5 for newcomers and those under 21, $10 otherwise, $20 maximum per family)
