Sprint events use easy controls
in complex urban areas, requiring the orienteer to concentrate
on the fasted route
choice and speed. They can be enjoyed by experienced competitors looking
to orienteer fast and those just learning orienteering, because the controls
are easy, which
makes for a great way to learn the sport.
There will be an opportunity for a tutorial for new orienteers at 12.30 pm.
Location:
UVIC Parking lot just off Gordon Head Road. If you are travelling to UVIC on
Mackenzie Road,
turn right on Gordon Head just before you reach the campus and look for the
parking lot on the

guide you in.

Please bring your own whistles (required) and compass (optional).
If required, whistles may be purchased at registration for $2 and compasses
