Courses Info:

Mini Course - Training: New on this WJR, the Mini Course! A 200-300m long course to get you going with a GVOC coach before launching on a real course!

Beginner Course: A classic Urban Orienteering short loop so you can get acquainted with the map, compass (optional), controls description and how it all fits together. Control description uses both symbols and plain text.

Intermediate Course: Longer with route choices in a mostly Urban Orienteering setting. A few controls are in Stanley Park to give you a feel for more open-terrain orienteering.

Expert Course: 20+ controls with multiple route choices. Urban-O indeed, but we also found some forested areas to switch your brain into classic forest-O.

Elite Course: 25+ controls to get this sprint going full tilt, but keep a few neurons alert for the forested parts.

Safety

• Carry a whistle with you
• Watch out for pedestrian and bicycles on the course
• Georgia Street and the Lion's gate causeway are off-limit
• If wet some of the stone stairs found in the park will be slippery.
• It is VERY important that even if you abandon your course you come back to the finish so that we know you have returned safely.
