Mount Dufferin - Big parking lot Kamloops

Map: Mount Dufferin

The third and final Kamloops weeknight of the fall, this will have a mix of beginner and advanced courses. We will be meeting at the parking lot off the copperhead exit. There are a couple of Sunday events in Kamloops still planned.

Courses:

At least two courses, which have yet to be finalized to no distances posted. There will be a shorter course and a longer course.

• 17:30 - Registration Opens, First-Timer instruction, and courses open
• 19:00 - Courses Close

Who:

You can come out anytime, no experience required! We have someone on hand at all our events to help teach the basics to get you started.

We think everyone should try this unique sport and especially if you:

• Have heard about this unusual sport of orienteering and would like to learn more about it;
• Enjoy running or hiking but get a little bored grinding out the miles;
• Enjoy maps and thinking on the run;
• Don't enjoy maps but want to learn to read them better (5 Reasons Why We Should Still Read Maps);
• Are interested in an activity that you can do with your friends or as a whole family;
• Love being outdoors or in the woods.

Ensure that you have good footwear for running on and off trails with decent grip. 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. If you have a whistle, please bring one. Wear running clothes suitable for being outside and active and suitable for the weather. Bring something to drink and some snacks for afterwards.
