Come join us the Lynn Valley Adventure Race, a North Shore classic. This year's event will include mass-start 3 hour and 6 hour options in the traditional Score-O format (with SI/electronic scoring).
The objective is to collect a maximum of points within a given amount of time (3 or 6 hours). Each control will be worth a fixed amount and each minute late getting back will reduce your point total. You will lose 20 points for every minute that you are back late.
This year we’re planning to explore to Fromme side of the map (but we will definitely also give you the chance to visit Seymour).
Map/Terrain
The "Super Seylynn" map now covers the area from Mosquito Creek to Deep Cove at 1:15000 scale, with 5m contours, and utilizes sections of the Lynn Valley/Braemar/Lower Seymour/Rice Lake/McCartney Creek maps.
The terrain around the North Shore is a nice mix of beginner friendly trails and roads that are closer to the start/finish and some more technical terrain further away. Forest areas are often fairly open, for West Coast standards. Expect generous amounts of elevation gain:)
Start/Finish Location and Parking
The start and finish is at the Lynn Canyon Large Picnic Shelter (Lynn Canyon Park - 3690 Park Rd, North Vancouver).
There is good transit close by!
Pay parking is in effect at in Lynn Canyon Park - with a 4hr time limit. There is free parking a short walk way on the east side of the canyon (https://maps.app.goo.gl/FWGCpKqb6pgz2Ed88). There is also some street parking available for free locally.
Schedule
- 8:00am: 6 hr map handout and course planning
- 8:10am: 6 hr course start
- 10:30 am: 3 hr map handout and course planning
- 10:40am 3 hr course start
- 1:40pm to 2:10pm: Finish!
Note: sign-on will open at 7:15 am and close ~15 minutes before the start. For the 6hr event sign-on closes at 7:45am. For the 3hr event, sign on closes at 10:15am.
Youth
This is a great event for young orienteers and adventurers (12+). There will be lots of urban and on trail navigation areas and they can run/adventure as small teams with friends. And they can of course run as short or as long as they want (as long as they are back by 2:10pm).
Registration and Payment
***Registration is open until Saturday, October 14th at Noon***
All runners must pre-register and pay before the event.
Single Adults - $25
Single Youth - $5
Adult Team - $40 - we can't get the registration system to deal with teams so if you are a member of a team, register as an individual, tell us who is in your team and use the TEAM coupon code in the cart for a discount. We will try to sort out the teams on the day as well.
Youth Team - $5 per runner - please run as a team - it's way more fun!
We will use SI/SI-AIR this year and will have both available to lend out at the start.
Partners/teams
Score-O/Rogaines (and adventures) are way more fun when they are shared experience. And longer rogaines are always run with a partner. We will reward teams who run in pairs (10% score penalty for solo runners). And we are happy if you want to run/walk with a larger team.
Safety
Prepare to be self-sufficient for the duration of your run!
- All competitors must report to the finish, so we know you're safe.
- Whistles must be carried. If you don't have a whistle, you may purchase one at registration.
- BE BEAR AWARE! Become bear aware, and consider carrying bear spray if you're on a longer course and are nervous about bear encounters.
- We will mark the location of known drinking water sources on the map, but there is no guarantee that they will be operational on the day (they shouldn't have been turned off for winter yet, but no promises). All the water refill stations are close to public washrooms.
- Consider taking some food if you're on the 3h/6h courses.
- You may carry a cellphone for emergency usage. This is recommended for all youth and new orienteers. Please respect the spirit of the event, and don't use the GPS functionality unless you're hopelessly lost and concerned for your safety. The event director's number will be printed on the map. Note that some areas of the map do not have cell signal.
- Major rivers can only be crossed on bridges.
Beware of mountain bikers, especially on the eastern half of the map.
