Registration is open and you can see who has signed up here

The BCIT map has been recently updated and is now at 1:4000 scale. There are many areas with canopies, mapped with the 'Canopy' symbol 522 (light grey colour). There are also some areas passable at two levels (mapped with symbol 512.3) with the entrance to the lower level mapped with the tunnel entrance symbol (512.1). These multi-level areas on the map have been updated to the most recent Sprint Map standards. Information on mapping of multi level areas will be available at the event.
Bring your Control Description holders as separate control descriptions will be available for the Short and Long courses. Control descriptions will also be printed on the maps.
