GVOC invites you to Crescent Park on June 16 for the last Why Just Run Sunday event of the summer (back again in September).  It's Father's Day - what better way to celebrate that bringing Dad. There are courses suitable for everyone and the park is a lovely location for a picnic afterwards. Or head to the beach for a stroll and a treat at the ice cream stores or something more at Crescent Beach's cafes.

Please register by Friday evening so we can print enough maps.

Description:

The park is a mix of open grassy areas and wooded areas criss-crossed by trails. For the advanced courses (Expert and Elite) the openly runnable woods provide some technical challenge but the main skill being tested is route choice - a quick glance at the map, a snap decision and go...

Schedule:

9:30 am - Registration opens

9:45 am - Introduction to Orienteering for Beginners

10:00 to 11:00 am - Starts

1:00 pm - Course closure; participants must report to the finish by course closure time

Courses:

Four courses will be offered. The Short course is ideal for beginners and familes. Sport is suitable for those who want a longer run and a little more navigation challenge. The Expert and Elite courses have some technical challenges and many navigation choices. Expert will be ~5 km for the shortest route choices and Elite ~ 7 km for the shortest route choices.

Safety Precautions:

The playing fields may be busy - Please run AROUND or BETWEEN the pitches if there is a game in progress. The Expert and Elite courses will involve some scrambling over logs and through undergrowth.

Parking/Start/Finish Location:

Park at the northeast entrance to Crescent Park (see map below). Follow the signs to Registration which is just inside the Park. Start and Finish are also nearby.

Acknowledgements: 

Without volunteers, these events cannot take place. A hearty thanks to all those helping put on this event. If you would like to volunteer/help at upcoming WETs/WJRs or would like to organize a WET please let us know.
