Courses:
Begginers- Short, Easy. No off-trail controls

Safety Precautions:
Please be advised that due to the weather these past days some branches (even full trees!) may have fallen on the trails. Also, expect it to be wet and muddy. It is advisable to protect your legs against the bushes. Also, if you are planning a late start, bringing a headlamp might be useful as some sections of the course will get dark pretty soon.

Start and finish will be in the parking lot at Queen Elizabeth Elementary School. Apart from the parking lot, there is plenty of street parking available nearby. Also, bus routes 33 and 25 have a stop right in front of the school.
