Organizers: Joanne Woods (Event Director), Jordan McIntosh (Course Planner), Joanne Woods (Course Planner)
Map: Blue Mountain Park
This WJR will be a "training" day to help prepare for Sprint Camp.
There will be four loops, with each loop focusing on a different skill set. (i.e. reading control descriptions, planning ahead, keeping the map oriented etc). Runners can take a break between each loop. They can also run a loop as a head to head race if they want.

Why Just Run
What should I bring? Wear something comfortable that you don't mind getting a little dirty! If it's wet outside, you might want to consider a change of shoes and socks! A compass is optional (we have extra ones for borrowing). For added safety, a whistle is mandatory for all GVOC events. Read more in the WJR Introduction to Orienteering.
How much does it cost? Regular "Why Just Run:" events cost adult: $10 / under 20: $5 / family discount (adult(s) with children) 40% (we now accept credit and debit cards on site).
