TORONTO ORIENTEERING CLUB 


  2008 Wednesday Evening Park Meets

 

The Toronto Orienteering Club invites you to come out to our Wednesday Evening Park Meets series of orienteering events in Toronto city parks. These informal, low-key meets are designed for the orienteering beginner as well as for the more advanced orienteer. If you've never orienteered before, someone will be on-hand to show you the basics. (Beginner Clinics are also available at some Wednesday events.) Come and see how easy it is to start orienteering and enjoy the outdoors this summer. You'll discover how interesting our many beautiful city parks can be while getting some good exercise.

New for 2008! We are introducing Sprint-O and Score-O events to complement the traditional Classic-O Wednesday Series. This will give members who can not make it to a weekend event an opportunity to try out the different formats of Orienteering available! We are also introducing a self monitoring series championship for those who wish to add a little friendly competition to their training runs!

For more information, you can contact the meet director of the event by e-mail (click on the name) or email to Malcolm Goddard (Wednesday Park Series Coordinator).

Registration starts at 6:15 p.m. at the event site (rain or shine.) We have never cancelled an event due to inclement weather! See below for a map to the event sites.
