Jericho Beach WET Wednesday Evening Training

Organizers: Dawn Mooney (Event Director), Jonathan Harris (Assistant)

Map: Jericho Beach

Come out and enjoy a last daylight (somewhat) WET at Jericho Beach! A beach, a woods, and a hill course will be on offer. Sunset will be at 6:38 pm, so the start will be open from 6:00 pm to take advantage of the light. Bring a headlamp though, as darkness will fall, and you may be in the woods when that happens.

To prepare for the upcoming Lynn Valley Adventure Run, the courses will be Score-O format - but with a few twists. Each course will begin as a point-to-point course, and then you will enter a "box" where the remaining controls will be scattered around and you can collect them in any order. Once you finish collecting the scattered controls, make your way back to the start/finish. On the woods course, you will be able to skip one control, and on the hill course, you will be able to skip two controls. Choose wisely!

Courses

1. The Beach: this will be suitable for beginners, and will be a good warm-up for runners who wish to do all three courses. (Approx. 1.9 km.)
2. The Woods: this will be a little more challenging, and a little more dark. Some will want to do this first to do it in daylight. (Approx. 1.6 km.)
3. The Climb: this will be more physically challenging, and a longer distance, as it will go across 4th Ave and up the steep hill to 8th Ave. (Approx. 2.1 km.)

You can do as many courses as you want, in any order.

Meeting Location

See pin below. We will be at the Jericho Beach Concession building. There is free parking on 4th Ave west of Wallace St, or a paid lot accessed from Point Grey Rd or 2nd Ave.

Notes

The Park Board has been clearing a lot of undergrowth in the wooded areas, so rely more on point features and trails rather than vegetation. A lot of dark green areas are now more open. The map has not been updated as the clearing work is ongoing.

Don't forget a headlamp!
