The COF’s course and category guidelines for championship events have been updated. After a trial at the North American Orienteering Championships in 2010, it was decided to permanently add a men’s and women’s over 80 category. For the middle and long races, W65 has been moved up to course 5. W80 and M80 have been added to course 4. For the sprint race, W80 and M80 have been added to course 2.
