Courses
We'll be offering 3 courses this week:
- Beginner: 1.8 km, with straightforward route choice and navigation
- Advanced Short: 3.3 km, with more challenging route choice, and trickier navigation
- Advanced Long: 5 km, with more challenging route choice, and trickier navigation and slightly longer course
Central Park is a large urban park, with some well defined trails and a spider web of trickier indistinct trails throughout the park which should make the courses pretty fun:) That being said, someone newer to orienteering should probably be able to make out ok on the advanced courses as the navigation is mostly on trail.
Schedule
6:30 pm Starts and Introduction to Orienteering for Beginners
8:00 pm Course Closure, participants must report to the Finish before leaving.
