Turkey Trot, Northumberland Forest / long Sault Conservation Area
|
|
The first event on a very busy fall orienteering calendar in Southern Ontario, the Turkey Trot is
a 2 day event cohosted by the Ukrainian Orienteering Club (UKR) and the Toronto Orienteering Club (TOC). UKR is your host on Saturday for medium and micro sprint courses
in the Northumberland County Forest while TOC is your host on Sunday for a classic long course at Long Sault Conservation Area.
Medals will be awarded for the top 3 in each category, plus we will have a few random draw prizes as well.
Stick around after the event on the Sunday for the first TOC Orienteering gear swap meet! We have a variety of Orienteering gear, clothing and teaching materials that
will be available. Please feel free to bring along any nearly new orienteering gear or books that you feel would benefit someone new to the sport to add to the exchange.
