Turkey Trot, Palgrave and Glen Haffy Conservation Areas
|
Join UKR + TOC for 3 great races on one fine fall weekend!
The annual and much-anticipated Turkey Trot is a full weekend of orienteering, with 3 events spread over the 2 days. On Saturday, UKR will host the medium and sprint events at Palgrave CA. On Sunday, TOC will host the long event at Glen Haffy CA.
Day 1 will be run with a reworked Palgrave map on classic moraine terrain with a rich trail network and open woods. 2 races in 3 hours, the Sprint and Middle distance events will test your O skills in two disciplines. The Sprint race is a fully forested Sprint - even racers who wouldn't normally consider themselves 'sprinters' will enjoy this one!
Day 2 brings you to the thick woods and challenging contours of the Glen Haffy Conservation Area. The Long event will challenge you over the full distance and bring the weekend to a satisfying close.
This is a two day total time event. Awards will be given to the top 3 in each category with the best combined times for the medium and
long distances. Note that the Fox Run Sprint is a Fundraiser Event. All High Performance Program (HPP) orienteers have free entry to this race!
