Participate in teams of two (2) or more and collect as many orienteering controls as you can in 4 hours in the short category or 6 hours in the long. Bring the family out to the 4 hour challenge, or your warm socks to the 6 hour!

Acceptable disciplines are trekking / running, mountain biking, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing. We’ll do our best to report snow conditions in the area as the date approaches. Any single discipline listed above is allowed, but of course we’d like to see people try more than one!

Registration / Check-in begins at 8:00 a.m. at the end of Myra Rd. in Porter’s Lake, NS. Details on advanced registration will be available soon. Cost: $30 per person, or $25 if registered in advance. Price included maps and some post race snacks!

What’s new for 2010?

Hard to believe we are thinking about 2010 already. What does NSAR have in store for you? We have some big plans for our two races this year, Who’s Your Daddy? will once again feature the now infamous Tire Pull and Race the Phantom…….well I can’t give away all our secrets. ;)

I will do my best to keep updating both our pages with details as our planning progresses and hopefully you will keep coming back to see what is new. If you or anyone you know is interested in helping out with our 2010 Season please let me know. We are going to form a committee to help take care of some organizational details.

Do you have any suggestions or comments about our events that you think will make our 2010 ones better? Hit the Wall and share em.

Upcoming Orienteering Events

We recently attended Storm the Beach hosted by Andrew, Erica, Tim and Jodi which was held in the Halifax area, we had a blast. Hopefully they will make this an annual event, I have already put it on my calendar for next year. I was a very difficult, cold and scenic course that had something challenging for all experience levels.

On a side note we ran into Rob Hughes who was down to take part as well, and as it turns out he is back at it again in the Fredericton area. Here is an email I received from Rob with a link to some upcoming Orienteering Events. Now is the perfect time of year to start practicing your navigating for next season’s adventure races.

Hi Guys,

Details of upcoming events in NB and NS can be found at :

http://www.orienteering.nb.ca/cal-en.html#fall

Of special interest to us AR aficionados are the two night events, and the Oct 25 4-h event at Wentworth. Also, anyone in the Fredericton area should take in the Oct 24 event at Mactaquac. That looks like a busy weekend!

On another line of thought, I am thinking of putting on a winter event of some kind in the local area, would you guys be interested? Maybe in Feb.

Please spread the word on these events.

cheers

Rob
