Rockwood Classic O

Organizer: Steve Heron (Organizer)

Map: Rockwood Park

This is a classic point-to-point orienteering event where participants follow a course in the order set by the organizer. All controls must be found in the given order.

This is a public event, open to all, with no prior orienteering experience required. Help will be available on-site for any beginners needing some tips to get started.

There will be several courses to match any ability. Easier courses will be shorter with controls placed in easy-to-find locations. Harder courses will be longer and controls will be hidden off-trail for the more adventurous participants!

COURSES

• 1. Beginner (under 2 km): An introductory course for absolute beginners. Controls located along trails.
• 2. Basic (about 2 km): Slightly harder. Good for first-time adults. Many controls along trails but just out of sight
• 3. Intermediate (2-3 km): Most controls are located off the trails. Map reading skills are an asset. Some bushwacking.
• 4. Short Advanced (3-4 km): Controls are located off the trails. Challenging route choices. Good map reading skills required.
• 5. Advanced (4-5 km): Longer, more controls, tougher routes. Good map reading skills required.
