One from the Woods House to Blue Mountain Park (and back) at 1:5,000 scale and the detailed Orienteering map of Blue Mountain Park at 1:4000 scale. Before you start you estimate your time, we take any timing devices, and the winner is the closest to their estimated time.
Safety Precautions
Always use good judgement and common sense. Carry a whistle at all times. Headlamps are essential to see and be seen. Take care when crossing roads (especially Blue Mountain). Watch out for other runners, cyclists, and trail/sidewalk users.
Parking/Start Location
