The two Farsta style courses, 5km, and 3.7km have multiple loops and a map flip. Laser focus is usually what you want for these. There is a mix of urban orienteering and some open forest sections to mix it up.
The Intermediate and Easier courses are classic point to point styles, with a few tricks peppered along the way .
Run Safe
Some of the boardwalks can become quite slippery if wet and when temp <0oC , which is likely. Also the usual wet or frozen ground in the forest will be slippery.
Especially during the mass start, be aware and avoid potential collisions with other people in the park.
Parking etc..
There is parking around the local schools and nearby streets, and public washrooms are found near Deep Cove Canoe & kayak Center, Panorama Park just off the northern p.lot on map below, and Myrtle Park to the south.
