Cates Park Wednesday Evening Training
October 21st 2015 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Organizer: Nathan Detroit Barrett (Event Director)
Map: Cates Park
Description
In order to take advantage of the smaller area at Cates, we'll be doing multiple loop course! In order to have more fun, we will be doing a mass start! In order to create mass confusion and hysteria, there will be some overlap in the areas and/or controls used in the loops (as I wouldn't want to encourage following...looking at you Collings...)! It will also be possible to run solo if people like, but I highly encourage joining in on the fun.
Schedule
6:15 pm - Introduction to Orienteering for Beginners
6:30 pm - Starts begin for individual courses
6:40-ish pm - Mass Start!
8:00 pm - Course Closure, participants must report to the Finish by Course Closure Time.
Courses:
Options to run 1, 2, or 3 loops, with the only major difference being the distance covered. The terrain in the park is quite beginner friendly, but 1 loop will be made to be easier than others.
Safety Precautions:
Bring your headlamp and whistle.
Parking/Start/Finish Locations:
Parking is available in the lots in the park. There is also a bus (or possibly buses) that goes along Dollarton, and it's also a nice bike ride out there...if the weather is nice. If. Will be meeting by the picnic tables just south of the parking lots. Shown on map.
Post-Event Dining:
White Spot! Well, that's where I'm going for dinner. Everyone welcome to join. On Marine Dr, by the bridge.
Acknowledgements:
Without volunteers, these events cannot take place. A hearty thanks to all those helping put this event on. If you would like to volunteer/help at upcoming WETs/WJRs or would like to organize a WET please let us know.
Think that's all I got. This is a fun little park so hope to see everybody out there!
