Mike Rascher Special (Central Park, Burnaby) Wednesday Evening Training

Organizers: Mike Rascher (Event Director), Jules Tough (Membership), Holly Hendrigan (Assistant)

Map: Central Park

Description

Classic point to point in Burnaby`s Central Park. Groups of 3 controls to pick with some longer legs in between to get some route choice/think time. Some of the smaller trails in the middle are really wet - bring a dry pair of shoes and socks. Some of the trail entrances are being hidden with fallen branches, others have a lot of windfall on them making some navigation a challenge.

Schedule

I won't be able to get to the course early from work, so setup might be a little late.

6:45pm Starts

8pm Course Closure, participants must report to the Finish before leaving.

Courses

Longer (5k), Not so long (3k) and something not so hard (2.5 k on bigger trails).

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 and parking lots. Watch out for other runners, cyclists, and trail/sidewalk users.

Parking/Start Location:

There's a parking lot on the E side of the Swanguard Stadium.

Meet at the Bandstand rain or shine just 150m S of the SE corner of the parking lot.
