North False Creek WET Wednesday Evening Training

Organizers: Jonathan Harris (Event Director), Joanne Woods (Membership), Stan Woods (Coach), Jordan McIntosh (Assistant), Loïc Baud (Assistant)

Map: North False Creek

The areas around the stadiums feature some complex multilevel structures which can be difficult to comprehend on the map. Please ask one of the event organizers for a quick lesson/refresher if needed.

Registration/start location is by Coopers' Park Playground, under the downtown end of the Cambie bridge.

Please sign up by Tuesday night (at midnight) so that we can print enough maps.

Parking:

There is paid parking along Pacific Blvd near the stadiums, or some free street parking in Strathcona if you want a nice warmup getting to the start!

Courses (straight line distances):

• Beginner: ~1.1 km, 12 controls. A short course suitable for those new to the sport, focused on the nearby waterfront area and not crossing any major roads. Family friendly.
• Intermediate: ~2.9 km, 18 controls. A condensed version of the advanced course, including some route choice in complex multilevel areas. Good practice!
• Advanced: ~5.1km, 28 controls. Technically difficult with route choice across complex multilevel areas. I hope you like stairs ;)

Notes:
