Registration for the 2015 Maritime Orienteering Festival including the Canadian Orienteering Championships and 3-days of Fishbones is now open. See the registration page for more details and the link to on-line registration at zone4.
Orienteering in 3 provinces over the week – awesome! There is a bundle going on – here’s a summary:
- 3 Canadian Championship events (also World Ranking events in the Elite classes)
- 3 Fishbones races (Fishbones are Barebones-style races). Fishbones 1 will be a point to point middle distance race. Fishbones 2 will be a one man relay called a Farsta. Fishbones 3 will be a chasing start. Your finish times in your first two Fishbones races will determine your starting time on the last race.
- A fundraiser race for Orienteering Canada’s High Performance program: a sprint race at Hopewell Rocks – where else can you orienteer on the ocean floor at low tide – this is a must-do event for any orienteer!
- The Banquet and Silent Auction – a chance to reconnect with your orienteering buddies and supporting Orienteering Canada’s High Performance Program by buying an item or two or three at the always fun silent auction.
- The Sass Peepre National Junior Training Camp – junior aged orienteers from across the country working on their orienteering skills with their orienteering friends for a couple days
- A lobster dinner in PEI – need we say more?
- The Orienteering Canada conference (and AGM) – a chance to get up to date with what Orienteering Canada is up to – take the latest coaching workshop and take part in the Pecha Kuchu evening, always a fun evening – you are invited to give a short presentations on ANY orienteering related topic.
- And a Pasta Night to get together and socialize as the week draws to a close
