Memory-O returned to Bond Park, and it turned out great again. This time the course was longer — 70 minutes — and we were sure it wouldn’t be clearable, but four people proved us wrong. Matt Craig won on time! We also ran three sprints of different lengths and difficulty. Karol Gabrowski won Sprints A […]

Read MoreMemory-O was a success and proved to be a real challenge for orienteers. It turned out to be less about speed and more about strategy, confidence, and spatial memory. No one managed to clear the course, though several people came very close. Decoy controls also played their part. In the end, Brian Thompson and Matt […]

We had good turnout with several walk-in families exchanging their planned trail hike for a much more exciting orienteering course 🙂 Huge thanks to Matt Craig, Mirabel Shafrath-Craig and Alan Morris for helping with controls pickup.

All advanced courses (including Orange) went across the Crabtree Creek into rarely used part of the park, which added extra difficulty (as well as remote start/finish). And, of course, there was a forest fire. We were very fortunate […]

Read MoreOur event at Crabtree Lake Park featured three sprint courses. With the area north of the main road now permanently closed, this event served as a test of the park’s continued viability for orienteering activities. The good news? Crabtree Lake can definitely still host sprint events! However, there was a challenge – runners needed to […]
